Brigadeiros

Ingredients

1 can (397 g) Sweetened Condensed Milk

80 g dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate

15 g butter (plus more for rolling)

60 g sprinkles

 

Method

Place the sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, and 1 tbsp butter in a small saucepan.

Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring continually. Cook the mixture for about 10-15 minutes, until it’s thick and you can see the bottom of the pan. If you run the spoon through the middle of the pan, it should take about 5 seconds for the mixture come back together. The longer you cook, the thicker it will be.

When you pick up a spatula full of the dough, it should fall into chunks, not in a stream. Once you get to the desired consistency, pour the mixture into a small bowl. Place it in the fridge until completely cool.

Rub a bit of butter over your hands. Use a spoon to scoop small amounts of Brigadeiro and roll into a ball between lightly buttered hands. Coat with sprinkles. Alternatively, you could coat them in desiccated coconut or crushed nuts.

Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 2 months in an air tight container.
