The second one with coconut we call "beijinho". I am happy to see Brazilian recipes here :) I wanna try the strawberry one. Like

Hey Tasty! These recipes sound great! Thanks for sharing some traditional Brazilian desserts with the world. - Although you got the name wrong, but I'm guessing it was a typo. Anyway tips for those of you who are not Brazilian and want to try this, based on a few questions I saw in the comments: 
- When the video shows them scraping the bottom of the pan, that's them showing that it will be ready when it no longer sticks to the pan.
- If you are afraid it will get to sweet just add a little milk before you start cooking. It has always worked for me.
- So it doesn't stick to your hands you could put some oil or butter on them
- Or you could skip the rolling altogether and just eat it with a spoon
- If it's hard to roll, try resting it for about 15 minutes
- Also make sure the ingredients are well mixed and there aren't any lumps and mix through all the cooking time so you won't get different textures in it. Some people said it got kind of hard and weird, and from what I've experienced that is mostly caused by not mixing it too well.
For those who want to know what it tastes like all I have to say is: they are delicious, with a sort of soft caramel texture almost. They are one of my favorite desserts right after fudge brownies. There are some people who say they are too sweet, but we love them just the way they are. A standard in any Brazilian birthday. 
Hope this helped!
Love,
Beatriz

Gringos: Brazilian Truffles *"Brigadieros"*

Brasileiros: Aahhhh não, eles não cometeram essa audácia...

[claricecarvalho]

fun fact the coconut one it's actually called "beijinho" what the literal translation would be "little kiss"

also it's brigadEiro

[bruhnomento]

só to aki pra fala que brigadeiro é o melhor doce do mundo.

[TheMissantos]

It's called "brigadeiros" not Brigadieros, I guess they try to put in Spanish, but we speak Portuguese. Just correcting this, I love the channel :)
