Brigadeiros Dessert prep 22 mins ∙ cook 8 mins ∙ makes 28 ∙ difficulty Easy ∙ source Frombraziltoyou.org INGREDIENTS
1 (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk ¼ cup baking cocoa powder 2 Tbsp unsalted butter (softened) plus extra to grease plate and hands 1 Tbsp pure vanilla extract Chocolate vermicelli (or good quality chocolate sprinkles), chopped walnuts, or other coatings of your choice DIRECTIONS 1. Mix the condensed milk, cocoa powder, and butter together. 2. Stove: Cook in a medium non-stick saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture starts to show the bottom of the pan when you scrape it with your wood spoon (about 5-8 minutes). The brigadeiro mixture should be thick enough to show you the bottom of the pan for a couple of seconds before the mixture levels out again. 4. Microwave: Pour mixture into a deep microwaveable bowl. If 900 watts, let cook on full power for about 6 minutes -- removing and stirring at least every 2 minutes, or until thick enough to be rolled (remember that when it cools down, mixture will be thicker). While it is cooking, do not leave the microwave unattended because mixture will rise and possibly bubble over, making a mess. Every time it rises, pause until mixture settles back down. If 1100 watts, cook at 80 % power. Double batches take more time to cook. 5. When brigadeiro is ready, remove either from the stove top or microwave, mix in the vanilla extract and spread mixture onto a greased plate. 7. Let cool to room temperature before starting to roll them into balls with greased hands. Use a ½ Tablespoon as measurement. Then, dredge gently in the chocolate vermicellis or other coating until totally covered, and place into paper bonbon cups.
