Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter plus for greasing hands
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- ⅓ cup heavy cream, whole milk or coconut milk
- 80 g unsweetened shredded coconut , plus for coating
- 23 pieces cloves . optional
Instructions
- Combine the condensed milk, cream, and butter in a small saucepan and place it over low heat. Stir with a silicone spatula until the butter is completely melted.
- Add ½ cup of grated coconut and continue to stir for about 20 minutes or until the mixture thickens to the point where it can be shaped into balls.
- Make sure to frequently scrape the sides and bottom of the pan with the spatula to prevent the mixture from burning. Pay attention to the consistency: slightly tilt the pan to check, the beijinho mixture should pull away from the bottom of the pan when ready.
- Once ready, transfer the beijinho mixture to a deep plate or dish and allow it to cool to room temperature before shaping it. Prepare 23 candy cups (size #5).
- Pour the remaining grated coconut onto a deep plate. To form the beijinhos, lightly grease your hands with some butter and take a small amount of the mixture, rolling it into a ball.
- Roll the ball in the grated coconut until it's fully coated. Place each coated ball into a candy cup and insert a clove at the top. Repeat with the remaining mixture.

Notes
- How to Store & Freeze
- Beijinhos can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days or refrigerated for up to a week.
- To freeze, roll the brigadeiro into balls and coat them in sprinkles. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper in a single layer. Freeze the brigadeiro for a few hours until solid. Transfer them to an airtight container or freezer-friendly zipper bag, remove any excess air, and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature for 1 hour before serving. Avoid opening the packaging during this time to prevent the sweets from sweating and wetting the wrappers.
