Brigadeiro recipe

Hi everyone!

Thank you for visiting my baking blog. Here is the recipe 

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
