Olho-de-sogra (Mother-in-law's eye) is a traditional Brazilian dessert made from plums, coconut, and condensed milk. It is a popular treat in Brazil, especially during Carnival and other festive occasions.

History[edit | edit source]

The dessert is believed to have originated in the 19th century in the state of São Paulo, although its exact origins are unclear. The name "Olho-de-sogra" is thought to be a playful reference to the sometimes tense relationship between a woman and her mother-in-law.

Preparation[edit | edit source]

To prepare Olho-de-sogra, plums are first soaked in water to soften them. The filling is made from a mixture of coconut and condensed milk, which is cooked until it reaches a thick consistency. This mixture is then stuffed into the plums. The finished dessert is often served in small, colorful paper cups.

Variations[edit | edit source]

There are many variations of Olho-de-sogra throughout Brazil. Some recipes use guava instead of plums, while others add chocolate or nuts to the filling. In some regions, the dessert is also known as "Olho-de-sogra" or "Mother-in-law's eye".
