Maria-mole, literally translated to soft Mary, is a popular Brazilian dessert that is similar in appearance to a marshmallow, but even softer, usually consisting of sugar, gelatin, coconut, and egg whites. The dessert is so popular that there are even boxed mixes for making it at home. Maria-mole was invented in São Paulo by Antonio Bergamo, a candy producer who wanted to use all of the egg white leftovers from making other types of candy. Today, the dessert is traditionally served during the Catholic festivals in June, called Festas Juninas.
