Yesterday evening we were off to a German stand up poetry slam performance at the German school. But before we did indulge into some petiscos – brazilian finger food and a good passion fruit caipirinha at one of Rio’s favorite bars – Joaquina at the Cobal of Botafogo/Humaitá.
As there is such a large amount of finger food found on the brazilian menus, we slowly eat our way through, trying something new every time. Last night we had grilled queijo coalho – something quite similar to grilled greek haloumi cheese and fried polenta with mushroom sauce. Obviously our all-time favorite bolinhos de bacalhau – fried codfish cakes needed to be ordered as well.

Passion Fruit dessert (for 6)
My friend Carolin shared this one with me – thanks. I prepared it just now as we have guests for dinner.
- 100ml of fresh cream
- 200ml of condensed sweetened milk
- juice and pulp of 5-6 passion fruits depending on size
- 100ml of unsweetened natural yogurt (optional)
Beat the cream until fluffy. Sieve the passion fruit to separate juice and pulp. Mix the juice with the condensed milk and slowly fold in the cream and natural yogurt. Distribute into nice glasses and decorate with passion fruit seeds. Cool for some hours in the fridge before serving. Enjoy!
