Brazilian Bombocado
Description
Bombocado is a traditional Brazilian dessert known for its irresistibly soft and creamy texture, blending coconut, condensed milk, and Parmesan cheese into a dense, custardy cake. Baked until golden and slightly firm on top, it strikes a perfect balance between sweet and savory, thanks to the unique addition of cheese. Simple to make and incredibly satisfying, Bombocado is a staple at Brazilian bakeries and family gatherings alike. Best enjoyed slightly warm or at room temperature with a cup of coffee or tea.
