My wife and I love this recipe. Our family and friends always ask us to cook it for them no matter the situation – Christmas, Easter, small gatherings etc. It is definitely not only a tradition among us, but also a kind of dessert that most of the Brazilians enjoy to eat for breakfast, after lunch or dinner (yes, all the time!). I am happy to share it with WagArb’s family as well as we do with our beloved ones in Brazil and I hope that you will like it!
