Cajuzinho - Little Cashew
Hi Everyone,
The recipe for today is Cajuzinho - Little Cashew. It is a peanut truffle, and it does not have any cashew in it, but it is shaped like a cashew fruit. Search cashew fruit on the internet, if you don’t believe me!
It is a delicious Brazilian birthday party candy that has been forgotten, as so many kids have peanut allergies…
When making Cajuzinhos, you can double the recipe. Just do not try more than 2 cans of condensed milk at the time, as it becomes difficult to mix…
