Recipes for Memories

Baking

Just like any good Brazilian, my love affair with bakeries is practically written in the stars. If I had to open a business, you can bet your last brigadeiro it would be a bakery! 🇧🇷🥖 Here, I'm dishing out all my favorite baked good recipes, from no-knead breads (because who has time for that?) to simple and ridiculously tasty cakes. So, grab a cup of coffee, pretend you're in a cozy corner bakery, and let's turn your kitchen into the hottest spot in town – where laughter is the secret ingredient and carbs are always welcome! 🍰🎉 Time to bake up some happiness, amigo!

    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? 🥰

    One of those days 😂 I forgot to add the splash of One of those days 😂 I forgot to add the splash of water to the sauce (don’t worry—you can add it at the end and it turns out just fine)… and then I somehow grabbed my kid’s baby spoon to show you the sauce consistency. 🤦‍♀️

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.

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