Quindim

Given that quindim is such a tasty and popular Brazilian sweet, it has to have its own story. Quindim was no culinary accident and was created in the convents of Portugal. It is said that around the time of the colonisation of Brazil, the nuns in Leiria used egg whites as a base for pressing their habits. As many yolks were left over, the nuns thought it was a great waste to throw them away. So they hit the kitchen and created recipes with the yolks, including the Brisa-do-Lis sweet, the basis of quindim.
