BRAZILIAN SWEETS
DULCE DE LECHE
For those who do not know it, Dulce de leche in Spanish is a milk-based sauce. Found as both a syrup and a caramel candy, is a confection from Latin America prepared by slowly heating sweetened milk (most commonly cow milk) to create a substance that derives its flavour from the Maillard reaction, also changing colour.
But it seems that the popular sweet is older than we think. In Brazil, there is a written account about the production of dulce de leche, dated in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais in 1773.
Its consumption extends to all Latin American countries. This product receives different names depending on the country in which it is consumed and also presents some regional varieties. It is widely used in desserts such as alfajores, cuchuflíes, wafers, pancakes, waffles, ice cream or cakes.
In the same way that in Spain we have the Quince sweet, in Brazil we have the GUAVA PASTE and the BANANADA.
GUAVA SWEET (GUAVA PASTE)
One of the easiest Brazilian desserts to prepare, the guava paste only needs guava, sugar and a little water.
It is a traditional sweet of Brazilian cuisine with a strong consistency.
It is usually presented to consumers with an artisanal look in wooden boxes, on the contrary, the industrialized form is usually sold in round boxes.
It is usually eaten with fresh cheese, in a combination known as “Romeu e Julieta” (Romeo and Juliet), traditional Brazilian pastry.
As in the love story, they are totally different, but perfect when they are together.
BANANA SWEET (BANANADA)
Bananada is a sweet made basically with banana pulp and sugar, with or without water, pectin and a concentrated pH adjuster, so that the cut-off point is reached. The most suitable type of banana for its production is silver.
The determination of its origin is extremely complex, however, the probable origin of the sweet was during colonial Brazil, in which the bananas that were already ripe were discarded and handed over to the slaves, who used and produced sweets.
