Description

Fantasy on the theme of
Cajuzinhо (cajuzinho) - diminutive form of caju, i.e. cashews. These candies are very popular in Brazil. Despite the name, traditionally they are cooked with peanuts. I decided to depart from this tradition and cook them with the cashews.

Ingredients

  • Condensed milk

    0.5 can

  • Cocoa powder

    1 Tbsp

  • Cashews

    0.5 cup

  • Butter

    1 tsp

Cooking

step-0
Mix in a saucepan the condensed milk, cocoa, butter and ground nuts. Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring, until thick.
step-1
The finished mixture is put in a lightly oiled bowl. Let the mass cool slightly, then refrigerate for 1 hour. I want to note that after this time the mass of not very well formed in the candy, because it melted in his hands. I removed it for 20 minutes in the freezer.
step-2
Form from the mass of first balls and then shape into cone. When I formed the candy, I would put on the hands with butter. While I formed the candy is ready put it in the refrigerator.
step-3
In the wide part of the candy press cashews. Sprinkle candy cocoa. To store the candy you need in the fridge.
step-4
And it looks real cashews. The candy got its name because it is shaped like the nut.
