Ingredients
- 400 grams Sweetened condensed milk
- 3 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Chocolate sprinkles
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, unsweetened cocoa powder, and unsalted butter.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir the mixture constantly with a wooden spoon to prevent it from burning.
Step 3
Continue to cook and stir for about 10-15 minutes, or until the mixture thickens and you can see the bottom of the pan when you run the spoon through it.
Step 4
Remove the mixture from the heat and let it cool for about 30 minutes at room temperature, or until it is cool enough to handle.
Step 5
Once cooled, butter your hands lightly and scoop a small portion of the mixture using a teaspoon.
Step 6
Roll the portion between your hands to form a smooth, round ball.
Step 7
Place the chocolate sprinkles in a shallow dish and gently roll the brigadeiro balls in the sprinkles until fully coated.
Step 8
Repeat the process with the remaining mixture.
Step 9
Arrange the finished brigadeiros in small paper cups for serving, if desired.
