Brigadeiro (The Favorite Brazilian Sweets)

Ingredient Amount Calories
Butter without salt 14.2g 102kcal
Cocoa, dry powder, unsweetened 16.2g 37kcal
Milk, canned, condensed, sweetened 396.9g 1274kcal

Recipe Instructions:

one 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
3 tablespoons pure cocoa powder
1 tablespoon salted butter, plus more for shaping
Chocolate sprinkles, for sprinkling

Add all the ingredients, including the butter, to a medium saucepan.
Slowly cook, stirring constantly, over low heat until smooth and rich in consistency: It should take about 30 to 40 minutes over low heat, stirring the entire time (yes, it requires lots of patience and love).
Transfer to a bowl and wait until the mixture cools down. (You can cover the bowl with a plastic cling and put in the fridge to accelerate the process.)
Then spread a little butter in the palm of your hands and mold the Brigadeiro dough into little ball shapes (use a teaspoon to help you portion). We like to make bite-sized Brigadeiro, about 1 inch in diameter.
Cover with chocolate sprinkles, chocolate shavings, or your favorite nut, and transfer to a small paper muffin tin. Store, covered, in the refrigerator.
