Ingredients
- 2 (14-oz) cans sweetened condensed milk
- 1 ½ Tablespoons unsalted butter (one and a half tbsp)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- food coloring (Red and Blue)
- red/white/blue sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Combine sweetened condensed milk with unsalted butter in a wide, no stick pan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until obtaining a homogeneous mixture (without lumps).
- Mixture is ready when it thickens and starts to peel away or show the bottom of the pan when you scrape it with your wood spoon (about 10-15 minutes, depending on how potent your stovetop is).
- NOTE: The fudge mixture should be thick enough to reveal the bottom of the pan for a couple of seconds before the mixture levels out again.
- When the fudge mixture is ready, remove from the stovetop and stir in the vanilla extract. Next, spread ⅓ of the mixture in the center of a large plate greased with unsalted butter.
- Place another ⅓ of the mixture in a bowl and stir in about 15 drops of blue food coloring and 2 drops of red. Then, place the remaining ⅓ of the fudge mixture in another bowl and stir in about 15 drops of red food coloring and 2 of blue.
- Transfer both the blue and red mixtures to the greased plate, spreading them around the white as shown in one of the pictures above. Let cool completely!
- Using a tablespoon as measurement, scoop out one spoon of the white/red/blue mixture (starting from the center to the edge of the plate) and with greased hands, roll out into balls.
- Place each bowl into a paper bonbon cup and if desired, place a few patriotic color star-sprinkles on top. Enjoy!
Notes
- Patriotic Brigadeiros may be stored in a clean airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- These are an adaptation of the classic Brazilian Brigadeiros made with cocoa powder. Try this addictive recipe as well!
