🍫 Easy Brigadeiro

Ingredients

• 1 can of sweetened condensed milk (395 g)
• 1 tablespoon of butter
• 3 tablespoons of chocolate powder or cocoa powder
• Sprinkles for rolling (optional)

How to make it

1. Put the condensed milk, butter and chocolate in a saucepan.
2. Mix everything together before turning on the heat.
3. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly.
4. Keep stirring until the mixture starts to pull away from the bottom of the pan — usually about 8–12 minutes.
5. Turn off the heat and transfer it to a plate lightly greased with butter.
6. Let it cool.

Getting the consistency right

• To eat with a spoon: turn off the heat slightly before it reaches the rolling stage, so it stays creamier.
• To roll into balls: wait until you can tilt the pan and the brigadeiro pulls away from the bottom completely.

Tip to make it REALLY good

Use 50% chocolate powder instead of sweetened cocoa drink mix. If you use 100% cocoa, add only 2 tablespoons so it doesn't turn out too bitter. 😋
