This no-cook candy tastes somewhat like the inside of a Reese’s peanut butter cup. It can be eaten on its own, or crumbled as a topping for ice cream or cake. (There is also a brazilian beef dish which people in the north of the country call “paçoca”. It’s more broadly known as paçoca de pilão to distinguish it from this candy.) Manioc is also known as cassava.
This is Emeril’s version of the national cocktail of Brazil, which is especially refreshing during warm weather. Sort of like a Brazilian Mojito (without the mint)! The key to making it strictly Brazilian is to cachaca, which is Brazilian brandy made from sugarcane.
The Portuguese brought oranges and other citrus fruits to Brazil in 1500, and they are used in several dishes and juices. Students may enjoy a fruity drink, such as pineapple-orange drink, as an after-school snack. From FoodinBrazil.com
