About

Bombocado is a Brazilian sweet treat {yey, another Brazilian sweet!}. In most recipes this sweet is made with shredded coconut and a large amount of yolks. In this recipe {the one I’m sharing with you}, bombocado is made with cornmeal and grated parmesan cheese. This bombocado has a thinner layer with the texture of a cake and a larger creamy layer.
