Brigadeiro Day is celebrated this Thursday (9th), a date that marks the celebration of one of the sweets most loved by Brazilians. The brigadeiro is a guaranteed presence at birthday parties, family gatherings, and in everyday moments when the craving for something sweet arises. It goes far beyond the classic combination of condensed milk, chocolate, and butter, gaining new versions without losing its role as the main attraction.

To celebrate the date, the article presents seven recipes that allow you to vary and explore different versions of this national passion. Among the options are hazelnut brigadeiro, Nutella, Brazil nut, and dark chocolate. There are also practical versions, such as microwave recipes, and alternatives without condensed milk for those seeking other options.

The recipes cater to different types of cooks, with more sophisticated reinterpretations for those who want to innovate and practical versions to make at home. The article highlights that there are options for all tastes and plenty of reasons to put the pot on the fire and prepare the sweet.

The traditional brigadeiro recipe is signed by Fabiana D'Angelo, who teaches the classic preparation that has marked generations of Brazilians and remains the favorite version on many tables across the country.
