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!
