Ingredients: ½ cup cassava starch (polvilho doce); 3 tbsp tapioca flour; 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted; 2 tbsp coconut sugar; ¼ tsp sea salt; 6 oz dark chocolate (72% cacao), chopped; 4 oz unsalted butter; 3 large eggs, separated; 3 tbsp tucupi (thawed if frozen); ¼ cup honey; 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder; ½ tsp vanilla extract; ¼ tsp ground cinnamon; 1 cup heavy cream; 1 tbsp guaraná powder; 2 tbsp confectioners' sugar; 1 lime, for candying; 1 small orange, for candying; ½ cup sugar (for candying); ¼ cup water (for candying syrup)

A dense, molten chocolate torte infused with tangy tucupi (Pará's golden fermented cassava liquid) creates a complex, earthy base. Topped with a cloud of guaraná-spiked whipped cream, it sits atop a crunchy toasted cassava crumb crust. Candied lime and orange peel garnish the plate, providing bright acidity and textural crunch—a dessert that tells Brazil's story through flavor.
