Brigadeiro is a Brazilian chocolate candy. I’ve included some optional extra ingredients to make it extra tasty.
Ingredients
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
1 tablespoon butter
1 (14 ounce) Can Sweetened Condensed Milk
chocolate sprinkles
1/4 teaspoon Vanilla Extract, optional
3 ounces Dark Rum, optional
Pecans chopped, optional
Coconut, optional
Nestle quick, optional
Colored sugar crystals, optional
Instructions
In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine Cocoa, butter and condensed milk. (I like to add vanilla extra and rum, but this isn’t traditional.) Stir continuously until achieving a consistency of really thick pudding and it starts to pull away at the edges and form valleys where you stir. Then continue stirring and cooking for several more minutes. Lift up the edge and let it drop back into the pot. It should hold its shape.
Chill in the refrigerator. Coat your hands in butter and roll into balls 1/2 to 3/4 the size of a golf ball as desired. Traditional Brigadeiro is rolled in chocolate sprinkles. You can try other toppings such as nestle quick, cocoa powder, chopped pecans, coconut, chocolate sprinkles, colored sugar crystals.
Makes about 20-30.
