There’s the caipirinha, Brazil’s official national cocktail ; churrascarias, their epic steakhouses ; and then the brigadeiro, Brazil’s unofficial national sweet. While it’s often made with sprinkles, brigadeiro can be rolled in just about anything.

Brigadeiro boutiques exist in Brazil where over 50 variations of this treat can be found, featuring ingredients such as pistachio, almonds and hazelnuts.
