Brazilian Brigadeiros
Rich, fudgy Brazilian chocolate truffles made by simmering sweetened condensed milk with cocoa powder and butter, then rolled in sprinkles. A beloved party treat that comes together with just a handful of pantry staples.
Ingredients
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter

Instructions
-
1
Combine 14 oz sweetened condensed milk, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 tbsp unsalted butter, and 1/8 tsp salt in a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan.

2
Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a silicone spatula, until the mixture thickens and pulls away cleanly from the bottom of the pan, about 10 to 12 minutes. The mixture is ready when you can drag a line through it and it holds for a few seconds.

Pour the mixture onto a greased plate or baking dish and let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour until firm enough to roll.

4
Spread 1/2 cup chocolate sprinkles on a shallow plate.

5
Grease your hands lightly with butter and roll the chilled mixture into balls about 1 inch in diameter, then roll each ball in the chocolate sprinkles to coat completely.
