June is here, and with it comes that longing for a traditional June festival filled with food, music, dancing, and bonfires, of course! And those who live outside Brazil are left wanting more, wanting to try the typical June festival recipes that only come this time of year.
These classic delicacies are made with ingredients like peanuts, cassava, and various varieties of corn. To break the mold and surprise your foreign friends—and please your Brazilian colleagues!—we've put together some different recipes for you to create a lively and delicious festival. Let's get started!
Paçoca is a classic sweet made with roasted peanuts, cassava flour, and sugar that's a must-have on any June festival menu. To make this cream , you can use paçoca in cork , square , or sugar-free versions . You'll need the following ingredients:
Bring the condensed milk, milk, cornstarch, and vanilla extract to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened and the bottom of the pan becomes visible. Transfer this mixture to a mixer, add the cream and paçocas, and blend until smooth. Pour into individual cups and refrigerate. Garnish with crumbled paçoca when serving.
Another essential treat at June festivals is popcorn. Because it's easy to prepare and has a neutral flavor, you can spice it up by adding condiments and seasonings. This spicy and sweet version uses pepper, turmeric, and Parmesan—it can't go wrong! Here are the ingredients:
In a saucepan, add the oil (enough to coat the entire bottom) and the corn; cover and cook over low heat. Open and stir occasionally. Watch the corn pop—when the interval between pops is less than five seconds, turn off the heat and transfer the popcorn to a bowl. Melt the butter in a bowl and add the salt, pepper, and turmeric. Top the still-hot popcorn with this sauce and mix well. When ready to serve, place the popcorn in paper bags and sprinkle with grated Parmesan.
As soon as June arrives, packages of canjica (corn grits) start appearing on Brazilian supermarket shelves. For those living abroad who love a sweet canjica, our online supermarket offers raw or already cooked canjica. With steamed canjica, you can prepare this super special recipe easily. Check it out:
In a saucepan, add the canjica and the remaining ingredients. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent the cream from sticking to the bottom. Let the mixture simmer until thickened (approximately 10 minutes). Serve hot in individual serving bowls.
Couscous is good year-round, at any time, and prepared in any way! Economical and delicious, this June festival recipe is nothing more than a super-enhanced couscous. It 's made in the oven instead of in a couscous maker and is ready in no time.
Rehydrate the corn flakes according to the manufacturer's instructions. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. In a blender, beat the eggs, milk, sweetcorn, baking powder, and salt. Add the mixture to the hydrated corn flakes and mix. Then, add the pepperoni and cheese. Place the mixture in a greased pan and top with the cream cheese. Bake for about 40 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warm in slices.
This June party recipe will impress your guests with its flavor and texture. And it will delight you because, besides being super easy to make, it's ready in no time. You can find the ingredients for the brigadeirão in our store. Check them out:
Blend the eggs, condensed milk, cream, 3 paçocas, margarine, and wheat flour in a blender for 5 minutes. When the mixture is creamy, gently fold in 3 more coarsely crumbled paçocas. Pour the cream into a microwave-safe cone mold greased with margarine. Microwave on high power for 8 minutes. It will come out soft; let it cool and refrigerate for about 1 hour. Unmold and decorate with the remaining paçocas.
Mulled wine is a traditional holiday drink that warms up the party and leaves a pleasant aroma in the room. In this recipe from chef and TV host Rita Lobo, you'll need fruit, cloves, and cinnamon to spice up the drink. Learn how to make it:
In a medium saucepan, add all the ingredients—except the apples—and mix well. Wash the apples, peel them, remove the seeds and stems, and cut them into small cubes. Bring the pan with the wine and the remaining ingredients to a high heat, and gradually add the apple. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for another 10 minutes. Remove the cloves and cinnamon sticks with a spoon. Serve the wine warm with a ladle and in individual glasses.

Place a spoon on the edge of the pan and slowly pour the cornmeal cream over it, spreading it evenly over the entire cake. Return the pan to the oven and bake for 1 hour at the same temperature, until golden brown. Unmold and serve while still warm, preferably with creamy guava .
This recipe is a sweet and delicious alternative to serving peanuts at your June festival. You can place them in paper cones—it's adorable! See the ingredients and preparation instructions:
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine all ingredients well. Then, cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until caramelized (dry). Place the peanuts on a baking sheet, spread them out, and let them cool. If you want them crunchier, bake them in a hot oven for 10 minutes. Serve in individual portions.
It's not a classic June party recipe, but it's sure to please your friends because it pairs well with a variety of sauces. It's very easy to make and can be prepared conventionally or in an air fryer—it's delicious. The ingredients are available in our store, check them out:
In a food processor, add the corn and blend until a moist dough forms. Transfer the corn dough to a large bowl; add the egg, grated cheese, cornmeal, parsley or cilantro, and wheat flour. Mix all the ingredients with your hands until the mixture is consistent. Add salt to taste. Shape the dumplings with your hands and fill them with the cheese pieces. You can deep-fry them in hot oil or place them in the Air Fryer until golden brown. They can be served with chili sauce or jam.
