Brigadeiro (bree-gah-day-ro) means brigadier in portuguese. The origin of the brigadeiro recipe is uncertain. Still, according to popular belief, a few women created this delicious treat to sell at fundraisers for the politician and Air Force brigadier Eduardo Gomes, who was running for president at that time. Soon, the fudge balls were a huge success at the parties and became known as "the brigadier's sweets." Later, people started calling it brigadeiro (brigadier) for short.

Looks like wheat flour wasn’t really produced locally until the beginning of the 20 th century. So, if wheat flour was even to be considered for making Brazilian cheese bread, people at the time would have had to rely on flour imported from Europe. And in 18 th century Minas Gerais that would have been… complicated. Also, apparently, the quality of the wheat flour coming from Portugal wasn’t the best to begin with, so, that didn’t really play in favor of wheat as a first option anyway. Too hard to get, too low quality. The simplicity of this recipe is one of the reasons why beijinhos are so popular in Brazil! It requires minimal ingredients and preparation time, making it accessible for all home cooks and a great option for those who want to whip up a delicious treat without spending hours in the kitchen.

But in all honesty, when I prepare it just for the two of us, I rarely roll the dough into balls. We simply eat it from a bowl and that’s perfectly fine.We traditionally use chocolate sprinkles, but the beauty of these little festive treats is that you can dress them any which way you want – just add different color sprinkles, and candy cups to match! Scoop up 1-½ tablespoons of the dough and roll them into golf ball size dough balls and place on the prepared baking sheet about 1+ inch apart or into your greased mini muffin pan. Special occasions: Beijinho can be served on any special occasion or as a delightful treat to celebrate milestones, achievements, or simply to add a touch of sweetness to a memorable moment. It should be cooler by now, so you can add the cheese spread. Mix the filling well with a wooden spoon to incorporate.
