Brigadeiro recipe

The brigadeiro is one of the most popular brazilan chocolate desserts. In Brazil there is no birthday party without brigadeiros.

The recipe is very, very easy and super fast!

I discovered these delicious fudge candies some months ago during a party. My brazilian friend, Gisele, brought these small balls and we ate them all at the end. A great success :-)

Ingredients:

400 ml. condensed milk

30 gr. cocoa powder

10 gr. butter

colorful sprinkles

Mix the condensed milk, cocoa powder and butter together.

Cook in a medium non stick saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the mixture starts to show the bottom of the pan when you scrape it with your spoon (about 8 minutes).

When the brigadeiro is ready, remove from the stove and spread onto a greased plate.

Let cool before starting to roll them into balls with greased hands.

Decorate with sprinkles.

Yummy tip

If you want, you can use brigadeiro cream as a topping or filling for cakes, cupcakes and brownies.
