These truffles are inspired to a Brazilian recipe called brigadeiro, that my maternal granny make every time I visit her.
What’s nice about these little delicacies is that they are super easy to make and can be personalized in endless ways: adding a nutty heart, substituting the cocoa powder with smashed pistachios or coconut flakes. Really, just let your imagination lead you!
