Ingredients
- 1 can (14 ounces) Sweetened condensed milk
- 3 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Chocolate sprinkles
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, unsweetened cocoa powder, and unsalted butter.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula to prevent burning.
Step 3
Cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the mixture thickens and you can see the bottom of the pan as you stir. The consistency should be similar to soft fudge.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the mixture cool to room temperature for about 30 minutes or until it's safe to handle.
Step 5
Once cooled, grease your hands lightly with butter to prevent sticking. Scoop teaspoon-sized portions of the mixture and roll them into smooth balls.
Step 6
Pour the chocolate sprinkles into a shallow dish or plate, then roll each ball in the sprinkles to coat evenly.
Step 7
Place the finished brigadeiros in mini paper cupcake liners or arrange them on a serving plate.
Step 8
Enjoy immediately, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to a week for a chilled treat!
