How to Make Brazilian Brigadeiro
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the condensed milk, cocoa powder, and butter.
- Stir constantly until the mixture comes to a gentle boil and thickens, about 8-10 minutes. The mixture should be thick enough to hold its shape.
- Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly (about 10-15 minutes), stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
- Once slightly cooled but still slightly warm and malleable, grease your hands or use a spoon to scoop out small portions of the mixture (about 1 inch in diameter).
- Roll each portion into a ball.
- Roll the brigadeiro balls in chocolate sprinkles.
- Place the brigadeiros on a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up completely.
- Enjoy your homemade Brazilian Brigadeiros!
