Here's what you will need:
- 4 tablespoons of Nestle chocolate or strawberry milk powder mix
- 1 can of sweetened condensed milk (your choice of brand)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- Your choice of sprinkles
Cooking Instructions:
- put roughly 2 tablespoons of butter to melt in the pan
- set the stove top to medium-low
- once the butter is melted, add a whole can of condensed milk
- now you will add the chocolate;
- stir with the wooden spoon; you will need to stir for at least 10 -15 minutes and it can take as long as 25 minutes; stir in circular movements and make sure you get the Brigadeiro from the sides so it does not stick there and burn
- the Brigadeiro will get thicker and thicker and will reduce in volume
- you know it is ready when a) you divide it in half with the spoon and it stays parted for a few seconds) scoop some brigadeiro with the wooden spoon, turn the spoon upside down, and it holds there for an instant before falling back into the pan;
- when your Brigadeiro is ready, spread the content of the pan on a plate and put it in the fridge for about 30 minutes to an hour; you want it nice and firm before you roll it in balls
- to make the little balls, spread a little bit of butter in your hands and make sure to get your fingers; using a small spoon, scoop some Brigadeiro, put it in your hands, and roll it in a little ball
- roll the ball on the chocolate sprinkles to cover it completely
- place your brigadeiro in a banking cup
- repeat--should yield about 25 Brigadeiros
- put Brigadeiros in the fridge for about 15-30 minutes to make them firmer
