Doce de Leite.

I haven’t had enough time to talk about doce de leite, but there could seriously be a whole blog devoted to the doce de leite of Latin America. It’s most famous in Argentina, but it’s pretty popular here in Rio.

My apartment-mate’s family owns a farm, and the caretaker there made some doce de leite for us. And some bolo de milho (corn cake). She’s made bolo de laranja, bolo de cenoura, and bolo de chocolate already—and they’ve all been amazing.

(there are passion fruits lurking behind the jar of doce de leite, in case you were curious)
