History

Established in 2013.

The brigadeiro (spelled pronunciation: bree-​ga-​day-​ro) has been part of my life since I was a babe in arms. It was my favorite «food» and I used to ask my mom to cook a little bit for me all the time. When I was four, I think she was tired to cook it for me all the time, so she decided to teach me how to cook the brigadeiro. I remember it like it was yesterday: my little hand, holding the condensed milk can and paying attention carefully to the instructions on how to mix chocolate powder, butter and condensed milk.

Since that day I cook my own brigadeiros. I used to eat them straight from the pans. Growing older, I loved to cook brigadeiros for my coworker’s birthdays.

When I moved to New York, I decided to evaluate the brigadeiro by American standards. My food critics were my husband’s colleagues. Thanks to them today The Brigadeiro NYC is here today sweetening New Yorkers. Thank you for the support everyone! Bruna
