Ingredients

  • 1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 4 tbsp Cocoa Powder
  • 1 tbsp Butter
  • 1/2 cup Chocolate Sprinkles (Nut Free)

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

  1. 1In a medium saucepan, combine the 1 can sweetened condensed milk, the 4 tbsp cocoa powder, and the 1 tbsp butter.
  2. 2Cook this mixture over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a spoon or spatula. Continue stirring for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the mixture thickens and starts to pull away from the sides and bottom of the pan.
  3. 3Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool completely. This may take at least 1 hour. Cooling is important so you can handle the mixture without burning yourself.
  4. 4Once the mixture is completely cool, use your hands to scoop out small portions and roll them into balls about 2.54 cm in diameter. You should aim to make about 12-15 balls.
  5. 5Place the 1/2 cup chocolate sprinkles on a small plate or shallow bowl. Roll each brigadeiro ball in the sprinkles, pressing gently to coat all sides.
  6. 6Place the coated brigadeiro balls on a serving plate. They are now ready to serve and enjoy!
