\nIn Brazil, mainly in families, more rarely on sale in the street, is this recipe of “beijos de mulata”, literally kisses of the mixed race. “Mulata” refers to a mixed-race girl and more generally a beautiful girl in Brazilian Portuguese. It is thanks to their golden color at the exit of the frying and also to the chocolate bath that these small sweets owe their name. A very simple recipe that changes from our good old nun farts (less glamorous in the name I must admit, but I like it too…). They are small doughnuts dipped in a thick chocolate sauce and rolled in coconut. In Brazil, the dried coconut is thicker than ours, but that doesn’t really change the taste! <\/div>\n

\nRecipe of “beijos de mulata”:<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n-3 yellow<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\n-75ml (g) cacha\u00e7a (or white rum)<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\n-110g of sugar<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\n-3\/4 teaspoon baking powder<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\n-15g of butter<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\n-400 to 450g of flour<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\nChocolate sauce:<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\n-60g of chocolate powder<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\n-60g of sugar (we are in Brazil, we like sugar!)<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\n-15g of milk<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\nGrated dried coconut<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\nFrying oil <\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\nMix the yolks and add the cacha\u00e7a. So I anticipate your question: yes the alcohol evaporates, only the taste remains! It is present, certainly, that is the goal, but it is there to bring precisely its flavor and a crunch because precisely it evaporates!<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n

\nAdd the powdered sugar.<\/i>
\n
<\/i>
\n<\/p>\n

\n<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n

\nBaking powder. I put a teaspoonful to raz. Always with my American spoons. <\/i>
\n
<\/i>
\n<\/p>\n

\n<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n

\nThen finally pour in the flour. Add it a little at a time to feel how much the dough needs. It should have the consistency of bread dough. <\/i>
\n
<\/i>
\n<\/p>\n

\n<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n

\nYou must “feel” the need for flour in the dough. <\/i>
\n
<\/i>
\n<\/p>\n

\n<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n

\nThe dough should not be too soft or too hard. <\/i>
\n
<\/i>
\n<\/p>\n

\n<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n

\nAdd the butter (at room temperature) and knead to incorporate it. <\/i>
\n
<\/i>
\n<\/p>\n

\n<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n

\nNow it’s time for a good fifteen minutes of kneading by hand or in a food processor! <\/i>
\n
<\/i>
\n<\/p>\n

\n<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\nOnce the dough is well kneaded, let it rest for an hour in cling film to prevent it from drying out. Make balls of about 10g. You can weigh the first ones and then do the next ones “at sight”. <\/i><\/div>\n


<\/i>
\n<\/p>\n

\n<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\nFry in a hot oil bath. Make sure you have enough oil, because if the dumplings are not submerged, they will open and break. <\/i><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\nLet the doughnuts cool for a few moments (well tanned), just enough time to cook the rest and prepare the chocolate sauce… <\/i><\/div>\n


<\/i>
\n<\/p>\n

\n<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n

\nFor the sauce, mix the chocolate powder and sugar. <\/i>
\n
<\/i>
\n<\/p>\n

\n<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n

\nAdd the milk. It should be a fairly thick sauce. <\/i>
\n
<\/i>
\n<\/p>\n

\n<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n

\nDip each “beijo” in the chocolate. <\/i>
\n
<\/i>
\n<\/p>\n

\n<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n

\nDrain well with a fork. <\/i>
\n
<\/i>
\n<\/p>\n

\n<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n

\nThen roll them in the coconut. It is important to know that in Brazil we find coconut much thicker than the one we have at home. But it works just as well with ours!  <\/i>
\n
<\/i>
\n<\/p>\n

\n<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n

\nDo the same for all the beijos…<\/i>
\n
<\/i>
\n<\/p>\n

\n<\/i><\/a><\/div>\n
\n
<\/i><\/div>\n
\nThen enjoy them during the day… Uma del\u00edcia! As always in Brazil.<\/i><\/div>\n
