Intro Hi all! This week is another of our country-themed challenges, and this time, we're looking to Brazil. Brazil is the 7th most populous country in the world, as well as one of the most multicultural and ethnically diverse. As the 5th largest country area-wise, Brazilian cuisine is influenced by a wide variety of international, indigenous, and regional cultures.

Portuguese immigrants to Brazil brought with them a love of sugarcane, and it was quickly fused with a native taste for tropical fruits in desserts to create sweets such as cocada, pacoca, quindim, bolo de rolo, passionfruit mousse, and bolo de banana.

Other popular desserts and baked goods of Brazil include brigadeiro, pamonha, acai na tigela, and snacks such as pao de queijo, coxinha, pasteis de bacalhau, and empanadas.

As always, Cozimento feliz! (Happy baking!)
