It is one of those famous Brazilian desserts which look so attractive that you can\u2019t resist trying them out the moment you set your eyes on them. Essentially bright yellow custard made from egg yolk, sugar and ground coconut, Quindim has its origins in Portugal. Usually presented as an upturned half sphere with a glossy surface, this extremely popular dish is intensely sweet, dense-textured and very addictive. The mould is lined with glucose syrup or melted butter for extra smoothness and rich taste, making it a household favourite in Brazil. It is sometimes presented in a large donut mould called \u2018quindao\u2019 and served as slices.<\/p>\n

Simply put, this is a Brazilian roll cake painstakingly prepared with numerous fine layers of cake alternated with delicious fruit filling. This exquisite, sweet delicacy from the north-eastern coast of Pernambuco in Brazil is traditionally prepared with rich guava paste between the thin sheets of cake. Counted amongst the most popular Brazilian desserts, making this one needs a lot of skill and patience to ensure the layers are thin and clearly distinguishable. Alternatively, layers of marmalade or dulche de leche are also used instead of the guava paste. Bolo de Rolo is readily available and makes for a great choice to take back home for friends and family.<\/p>\n
