BRIGADEIRO RECIPE | BRAZILIAN FUDGE BALLS

1x 14 ounces can of sweet condensed milk

chocolate powder,

Tbsp margarine, or butter (plus more for hands)

Sprinkles

Add the condensed milk, the butter, and the chocolate powder to a medium sauce pan and stir.

Cook over medium heat, for approximately 10 mins, stirring repeatedly, scraping the sides and the bottom of the pan with a spatula to avoid burning.

The brigadeiro is ready when you scrape the bottom of the pan, and the brigadeiro takes 2-3 seconds to come back to its place, or when the mixture reaches 205F-208F - You can use a candy thermometer, or just a regular food thermometer to check.

Pour the hot brigadeiro into a a dish, or plate, and let it cool - about 2 hours.

Meanwhile, pour sprinkles in a deep plate or bowl.

When the brigadeiro is cooled, butter your hands, and scoop 1/2 Tbsp to Tbsp portions and roll little balls.

Roll the little balls in the sprinkles.

Keep them in a cool place or in the refrigerator until serving time.

Brigadeiro Recipe

Brigadeiros are a staple Brazilian dessert. Made of only 3 ingredients (plus sprinkles), they are super easy to make, fudgy, and absolutely addicting!

Sweetened Condensed Milk

chocolate chips* (or chopped chocolate, or chocolate powder)

tbsp butter (plus more for rolling)

sprinkles

Place the sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, and 1 tbsp butter in a small saucepan.

Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring non-stop. Cook the mixture for about 10 minutes, until it’s thick and you can see the bottom of the pan. If you run the spoon through the middle of the pan, it should take about 5 seconds for the mixture come back together. The longer you cook, the thicker it will be.

When you pick up a spatula full of the dough, watch the way it falls back into the pan, it should fall into chunks, not in a stream.

It might take a couple of tries to figure out the best consistency for rolling. If you want to use it to fill cakes, you can keep the consistency of the dough a bit softer, but if you want to roll them, you want to cook it enough to make it stiffer, otherwise the fudge balls won’t hold up.

Once you get to the desired consistency, pour the dough into a small bowl. Place it in the fridge until completely cool.

Now rub a bit of butter over your hands.

Use a spoon to scoop small amounts of brigadeiro, and roll into a ball between lightly buttered hands.

Coat into sprinkles and place in a small paper cup.

Here is a great tip to get the brigadeiros in the perfect round shape. After coating it in sprinkles, shake the ball against your cupped hand, this will give the brigadeiro a nice round shape. I demonstrate how to do this on the video.

Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

It&#39;s best to keep the brigadeiros in an air tight container.

Storage

Hi, I have a question. I tried your recipe and followed all the steps exactly, after I prepared the brigadeiro I left them at room temperature, but after 2 hours they lost their shape (Kinda melted). Is this normal or did I do something wrong? They taste amazing though.

Thankyou for this recipe, me and my kids loved making them.
I used to use a different recipe with milk powder and condensed milk to do something very similar but I lost the recipe, I don't know if you would have a recipe for that one too?

So delicious and easy to make! Honestly way better than making truffles. Thank you for sharing this recipe!

Grandma's Traditional Brigadeiro Recipe

Condensed Milk (each can has 300 ml)

Unstalted Butter

Egg Yolk

Cocoa Powder (see notes)

Chocolate Sprinkles/Jimmies

prepare

In a small bowl, prepare the egg yolk first. Pinch and remove the thin membrane that holds the yolk together. If this feels tricky, place the yolk in a fine-mesh sieve, pierce it, and let it slowly drip through. The membrane will stay in the sieve—discard it. (You can also skip the yolk entirely if you prefer.)

Once the yolk is ready, set a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the condensed milk, egg yolk (if using), butter, and chocolate or cocoa powder. Tip: sift the cocoa powder through a fine sieve before adding to avoid clumps.

cook

Cook, stirring constantly with a silicone spatula to prevent sticking. The mixture will gradually thicken, taking about 10 to 15 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when it starts to pull away from the sides and bottom of the pan, and you can briefly see the bottom when you stir. Another way to test is to drag the spatula through the center—if it takes a few seconds for the mixture to come back together, it’s done.

cool

Pour the mixture onto a greased plate or tray and cover it immediately with plastic wrap to prevent drying. Let cool to room temperature.

shape

Once cooled, lightly butter your hands, scoop small portions, and roll into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in chocolate sprinkles until fully coated, then place in paper candy cups if desired.
