Thank you! The recipe is from Leticia Moreinos Schwartz The Brazilian Kitchen. I love Brazilian food but it can be intimidating though always worth it! Thank you for sending me your blog!

I am Brazilian and have my own food blog. The Casquinha de Siri that you posted is one of the dishes that I thought how to make it in one of my cooking classes althought our recipes are a little different. Thanks for posting Brazilian recipes here. By the way, you have a great blog. Kudos! Good luck on Saveur awards!

Hello! If you’d like it to be firmer, I would definitely let it cook a little longer to be sure that it has the right consistency before it’s chilled. Keep it at a lower heat if you’re worried about it scorching. Let me know.

Hi! I tried to make this and it was semi-successful. They tasted really good but my main problem was that the mixture didn’t ever solidify enough – I let it refrigerate for 4+ hours before trying to mold them into balls, and even then they were still slightly mushy / easily misshapen. I guess it could have been the heating part- I never saw any residue on the bottom like the instructions said. Do you have any suggestions, like adding more of a particular ingredient or making a modification to one of the steps?
