We love Brazil for several reasons: the beaches, the Carnival, the happy and always solicit people, the amazing climate! But, one of the big reasons are because of a sweet called Brigadeiro and My Sweet bakes it perfectly!
Anyway, the list of reasons to love Brazil can just go on forever. As we mentioned, the even sweeter reason are the famous brigadeiros.
Brigadeiro is a chocolate type of candy that is very traditional and with a very unique texture!
Brigadeiro Bree-gah-day-ro is Brazil’s favorite and most traditional sweet. Made with condensed milk, cocoa and butter, its cooking process requires love and patience. The result is a delicious round shape sweet with a unique and unforgettable consistency.
Two Brazilian expats in New York, Paula Barbosa and Christina Bahn launched My Sweet in 2011. The recipes and idea came through Paula. Her Grandma Lucila is the one that inspired and taught her how to perfectly bake them.
And, we have to agree. Everything we learn with Grandmas, are the best, right?
Speaking about, Paula uses only organic and very high quality ingredients, sourced through local producers. A great way to support the community, for sure! In addition, there are absolutely no preservatives and artificial ingredients, making them perfectly natural, and delicious!
Do you want to know who are a few of their most loyal customer are: Gisele Bündchen, Al Pacino, Andrea Dellal, Alessandra Ambrosio and Izabel Goulart!
So, it’s a definite pit stop when you are exploring the super artsy Bushwick neighborhood.
Lastly, you can also shop online if you aren’t able to go to the store. There, you’ll be able to discover all the amazing different flavors. Flavors like: cinnamon pecan, peanut lover, BW crunch, lavender, ginger, fresh mint, sea salt and countless others! We particularly love the traditional one, with only chocolate.
So, as we stated: We love Brazil!
