Brigadeiro, o doce nacional!


O brigadeiro é um doce típico da culinária brasileira, de origem carioca, o qual rapidamente se difundiu pelo resto do país, tornando-se comum a sua presença em festas de aniversário, junto com doces como o cajuzinho e o beijinho. É conhecido também no Rio Grande do Sul pelo nome de negrinho.

A origem do nome "brigadeiro" é ligada à campanha presidencial do Brigadeiro Eduardo Gomes, candidato da UDN à Presidência da República em 1946.

Heloísa Nabuco de Oliveira, membro de tradicional família carioca que apoiava a candidatura do brigadeiro, criou um tipo de doce, ligeiramente diferente da versão atual sendo feito com leite, ovos, manteiga, açúcar e chocolate, e o denominou com a patente do candidato preferido.

A guloseima, feita de leite condensado, manteiga, açúcar e chocolate em pó, inicialmente feita como uma forma de arrecadar fundos para a campanha, rapidamente ganhou popularidade e se espalhou pelo resto do país junto da campanha do Brigadeiro.

Como as festas dos cabos eleitorais eram muito disputadas pela população, estes logo, começaram a chamar os amigos para irem comer o "docinho do brigadeiro".

Com o tempo, o nome "brigadeiro" se tornou tão associado ao doce que o mesmo passou a ser conhecido apenas como "brigadeiro". Apesar do apoio recebido, Eduardo Gomes foi derrotado nas eleições, tendo a eleição sido vencida pelo então general Eurico Gaspar Dutra.

Os ingredientes do brigadeiro são leite condensado, chocolate em pó, manteiga e chocolate granulado para a cobertura. Pode ser feito tanto no fogão quanto no forno de micro-ondas.

O meu brigadeiro preferido é feito com leite condensado, cacau amargo em pó e manteiga, para um sabor mais equilibrado.

E você, já provou brigadeiro?

Brigadeiro, the national sweet!

The brigadeiro is a typical sweet of Brazilian cuisine, of Carioca origin, which quickly spread to the rest of the country, making its presence at birthday parties common, along with sweets such as cajuzinho and beijinho. It is also known in Rio Grande do Sul by the name of negrinho.

The origin of the name "brigadeiro" is linked to the presidential campaign of Brigadier Eduardo Gomes, candidate of the UDN to the Presidency of the Republic in 1946.

Heloísa Nabuco de Oliveira, member of a traditional carioca family that supported the brigadier's candidacy, created a type of candy, slightly different from the current version being made with milk, eggs, butter, sugar and chocolate, and named it with the patent of the preferred candidate .

The candy, made from condensed milk, butter, sugar and powdered chocolate, initially made as a way of raising funds for the campaign, quickly gained popularity and spread to the rest of the country with the Brigadeiro campaign.

As the electoral party parties were very disputed by the population, they soon started calling friends to go and eat the "brigadeiro sweetie".

Over time, the name "brigadeiro" became so associated with the sweet that it came to be known only as "brigadeiro". Despite the support received, Eduardo Gomes was defeated in the elections, and the election was won by then general Eurico Gaspar Dutra.

The brigadeiro ingredients are condensed milk, powdered chocolate, butter and granulated chocolate for topping. It can be done either on the stove or in the microwave oven.

My favorite brigadeiro is made with condensed milk, bitter cocoa powder and butter, for a more balanced flavor.

Have you tried brigadeiro?
