Ingredients

  • 28 oz sweetened condensed milk (or two 14-oz cans)
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs at room temperature
  • ¼ cup chocolate sprinkles good quality

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350º F (180º C). Grease a 8-inch (20 cm) ring pan with butter or no stick cooking spray. Sprinkle sugar all over. Set aside.
  2. Blend all ingredients (except the sprinkles.) in a blender until smooth. Pour mixture into the prepared pan. Bake in a bain-Marie for about 40 minutes. Remove from the oven, run a knife the edge around carefully, and place on a rack to cool.  
  3. Cover and refrigerate for about at least 4 hours, or until chilled and set. Run a knife around again and invert onto a plate. You may have to tap bottom of the pan to encourage unmolding. 
  4. Serve with chocolate sprinkles on top. If desired, drizzle chocolate fudge on the edges. 

Notes

  •  
  • BAIN-MARIE:  Place hot water in a large baking pan and place ring pan inside. Make sure water comes halfway up the side of the pan. 
  • Store brigadeirao covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Do not freeze! Why? This is a large flan and most flans don't freeze well. But if you'd like to give it a try (at your own risk):
  • Adjust your freezer to 0 degrees F and cut cool brigadeirao into quarters.
  • Then, wrap in freezer plastic bags for storing up to 1 month.
  • Thaw in the fridge and serve. 
  • Serve brigadeirao all year round. It makes a great dessert for potlucks, get-togethers, or Sunday meals, as well as for Easter and Christmas, depending on how you decorate it.
