{ Toucinho do Ceu }

Today I am bringing you a Portuguese recipe, well, Brazilian, so from my paternal grandfather's side.  This is one of the easiest desserts you will put together, but it is so good, like so so soooooo good.  It tastes phenomenal.

 

So what about that name?  What does it mean?  Well if we are to directly translate from Portuguese, it means Bacon from Heaven!  

 

I don't know why that name came about, or who decided that was the perfect name for this cake, but I'm good with it, since I love bacon, and this dessert is Heavenly.  Kinda makes sense then doesn't it?

However you may feel about the name, this is the perfect dessert when you have company come over and need something to serve.  Just a few ingredients, a quick blend together and that's it.

 

I hadn't made it in a really, really long time, and when I saw one of my favorite Youtubers making it, the craving kicked in.  So thank you to Greice Brigido for the recipe, and a trip down memory lane.

 

It is a cake/pudding/tart kind of dessert, all thrown together in the blender and then baked to create this creamy interior and a little coconut crunch crust.  Just trust me, make it, you will love it.

Toucinho do Ceu

Ingredients

600 ml milk

4 eggs

2 cups of sugar

1 cup of flour

3 tablespoons of butter

100 gr coconut

Directions

Put all the ingredients in a blender, and mix until well combined.  Pour into a 13x9 greased baking dish, and bake at 375 for 30 minutes or until golden brown, and the center is set.

Remove, let cool and serve immediately.

You can place it in the refrigerator and it will keep for a few days, although it never EVER lasts that long in my house.

Enjoy!
