Revenue Origin:

The inspiration for this recipe came from an unforgettable trip to the interior of Brazil.

There, I had the opportunity to get to know the country culture and be enchanted by the simplicity and richness of the regional cuisine.

One of the dishes that won me over the most was the coconut beijinho with rapadura, a traditional sweet that took me back to my childhood and my grandmother's house.

When I returned home, I wanted to share this experience with my friends and family through cooking.

I dedicated myself to creating a recipe that captured the essence of the caipira beijinho, using fresh and authentic ingredients from the region.

And that's how this coconut kiss with rapadura recipe was born, which became a success among everyone who tried it.
