I asked my mother-in-law to show me how she makes moqueca — a Brazilian fish stew made with coconut milk, dendê oil, fresh vegetables, fish, and shrimp.

It’s simple, comes together in minutes, and somehow tastes like you spent all day in the kitchen.

Serve it with rice, gather everyone around the table, and you have the kind of meal that turns into a memory.

This is my mother-in-law’s moqueca, and I’m so happy I get to pass it on.

There are so many foods I miss from Brazil, but th There are so many foods I miss from Brazil, but the fruit I miss the most is, without a doubt, passion fruit. 💛

Every time I find frozen passion fruit at the Brazilian grocery store, I buy a few packs because I already know one of the things I’m making: this Passion Fruit Bundt Cake.

It’s soft, incredibly fluffy, and finished with a fresh passion fruit glaze that brings me right back home.

If you’ve never baked with passion fruit before, this is the recipe to start with.

Would you try it? 🥰

At least the pork chops still turned out delicious! Sweet, savoury, budget-friendly, and perfect for a busy weeknight.

3-ingredient chocolate ice cream 🍫 Made with whip 3-ingredient chocolate ice cream 🍫

Made with whipping cream, egg yolks, and chocolate, it doesn’t taste like traditional ice cream at all. It’s rich, dense, silky, and somewhere between a chocolate truffle and a frozen mousse.

I added a splash of vanilla but you don’t have to.

No ice cream maker. No condensed milk. Just three simple ingredients and a little patience while it freezes

What should we call it?

I walk through cooking the filling until it pulls from the pan, rolling it into balls, dipping toothpick tips in butter before inserting them, and cooking the syrup to the hard-crack stage. Then I show how to work quickly—tilting the pan and twirling the candies in the syrup to create that signature crackly shell. I even brought back authentic paper cups from Brazil to serve them in.

every week. I loved it… until I didn’t. I think I every week.

I loved it… until I didn’t. I think I just reached my limit.

Now every year for his birthday, my husband asks for it — but I make it my way, with brigadeiro on top.

And every time I take a bite… it still tastes like home.

Which would you choose — the classic version or the brigadeiro one? 👇#tastyrecollections #bolodecenouracomchocolate #braziliancarrotcake #carrotcake #brigadeiro
