Cook this recipe

  • sweetened condensed milk-14 oz
  • chocolate sprinkles-1 cup
  • unsweetened cocoa powder-3 tbsp
  • unsalted butter-2 tbsp
  • heavy cream-2 tbsp
  • vegetable oil-1 tsp
  • fine salt-0.13 tsp
1
Set up the rolling station
Parchment paper
Plate
Shallow bowl

Line a plate with parchment paper, place the chocolate sprinkles in a shallow bowl, and keep the vegetable oil nearby for rolling.

1 Cup chocolate sprinkles
1 Teaspoon vegetable oil
2
Combine the brigadeiro base
Measuring Spoons
Medium saucepan

Add the sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, butter, heavy cream, and salt to a medium saucepan.

14 Fluid Ounce sweetened condensed milk
3 Tablespoon cocoa powder
2 Tablespoon butter
2 Tablespoon heavy cream
0.13 Teaspoon salt
3
Blend and heat the mixture
Medium saucepan
Silicone spatula

Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a silicone spatula, until the mixture is smooth and the cocoa is fully blended.

Use medium-low heat and stir constantly because the condensed milk mixture can bubble, scorch, and become very hot.

14 Fluid Ounce sweetened condensed milk
3 Tablespoon cocoa powder
2 Tablespoon butter
2 Tablespoon heavy cream
0.13 Teaspoon salt
4
Cook to brigadeiro consistency
Medium saucepan
Silicone spatula

Continue cooking and stirring for 8 to 12 minutes, until the mixture becomes thick and glossy and pulls away from the bottom of the pan when scraped.

Keep hands clear of bubbling hot candy mixture while stirring.

14 Fluid Ounce sweetened condensed milk
3 Tablespoon cocoa powder
2 Tablespoon butter
2 Tablespoon heavy cream
0.13 Teaspoon salt
5
Cool the mixture
Parchment paper
Plate
Silicone spatula

Transfer the brigadeiro mixture to the lined plate, spread it slightly, and let it cool until firm enough to handle, about 30 minutes.

Let the mixture cool before touching or rolling it to avoid burns.

14 Fluid Ounce sweetened condensed milk
3 Tablespoon cocoa powder
2 Tablespoon butter
2 Tablespoon heavy cream

Roll the truffles
Small spoon

Lightly coat your hands with vegetable oil, scoop small portions with a spoon, and roll into 1-inch balls.

Wash hands before rolling the truffles, especially after touching shared utensils.

1 Teaspoon vegetable oil
7
Coat with sprinkles
Parchment paper
Plate
Shallow bowl

Roll each truffle in the chocolate sprinkles until fully coated, then place on the parchment-lined plate.

1 Cup chocolate sprinkles
8
Rest and serve
Plate

Let the truffles rest for 10 minutes before serving so they hold their shape and have a soft, fudgy texture.
