“Beijinho” (“little kiss”) is a coconut sweet made with sweetened condensed milk and shaped as a small ball. It is one of the famous \u201cdocinhos de Leite Mo\u00e7a” that made their first appearance in the middle of the 20Th Century. They soon became popular and they are a must at children’s parties in Brazil.
The others classics \u201cdocinhos de Leite Mo\u00e7a” are “brigadeiro” (chocolate flavour), “olho de sogra” (pitted prune and coconut), “cajuzinho” (cashew flavour) and “camafeu de nozes” (walnut flavour).
You can add to the dough a little food coloring if you want to shape the dough into little fruits, animals and mushrooms. “Olho de sogra” is filled with “beijinhos” dough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
