Equipment
- Saucepan
- Spatula or wooden spoon
- Parchment paper
- Paper cups for serving
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ½ cup chocolate sprinkles
Instructions
- Pour the sweetened condensed milk into a saucepan. Add cocoa powder and unsalted butter. Stir well to combine. The mixture will look thick and glossy. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly. Watch as it transforms into a deep, chocolatey paste. Pro tip: Use a nonstick pan to prevent sticking.
- Keep stirring until the mixture thickens. It should pull away from the sides of the pan, forming a soft ball. This takes about 10 minutes. Be patient—this step is key to achieving the perfect texture.
- Remove the pan from heat and let the mixture cool for 15 minutes. Cooling makes it easier to handle.
- Once cooled, scoop small portions of the mixture. Roll them gently between your palms to form smooth balls. Place each ball on a tray lined with parchment paper. They’ll look adorable and ready for decoration.
- Roll each ball in chocolate sprinkles. Press lightly to ensure the sprinkles stick. Arrange them in paper cups for serving. Your brigadeiros are now ready to impress!
