Ingredients
- 1 can (about 14 oz) Sugar-free sweetened condensed milk
- 3 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Salted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Sugar-free chocolate sprinkles
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized non-stick saucepan, add the sugar-free sweetened condensed milk and unsweetened cocoa powder.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium-low heat and start stirring the mixture with a wooden spoon until the cocoa powder is completely dissolved.
Step 3
Add the salted butter to the mixture and continue to stir constantly.
Step 4
Cook the mixture for about 10-15 minutes, ensuring you stir continuously to prevent it from sticking or burning at the bottom. The mixture should become thick and shiny, pulling away from the sides easily when it's ready.
Step 5
Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 6
Let the brigadeiro batter cool for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or until cool enough to handle.
Step 7
Using your hands, grease them lightly with butter or a neutral oil. Scoop out small portions of the mixture with a teaspoon and roll them into small balls about the size of a cherry.
Step 8
Pour the sugar-free chocolate sprinkles into a shallow dish. Roll each brigadeiro ball in the sprinkles until fully coated.
Step 9
Place each brigadeiro in a mini cupcake paper liner for serving. Repeat the process for the remaining mixture.
Step 10
Store the brigadeiros in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Allow them to return to room temperature before serving for the best taste and texture.
