About Casadinho
Casadinho is a traditional Brazilian sweet, often served during festive occasions. Its name translates to "little married," symbolizing the delightful pairing of two complementary parts. Each bite-sized treat consists of two soft cookies, typically made from flour, sugar, butter, and egg yolks, sandwiched together with a filling like guava paste (goiabada) or dulce de leche. This indulgent dessert is cherished for its balance of textures and flavors—sweet, tangy, and buttery. While Casadinho offers a nostalgic and cultural experience, it is high in sugar and fats, making it an occasional treat rather than a daily snack. Those mindful of their intake can explore healthier recipes that incorporate whole-grain flours or fruit-based sugar substitutes without losing its essence. Casadinho remains a beloved staple of Brazilian culinary tradition, symbolizing connection and harmony through its "marriage" of ingredients.
