Ingredients
- 395 g (1) can of sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon butter , plus some more to grease your hands
- ¾ g canned 100% purée pumpkin
- ⅓ cup heavy cream or milk
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
To Garnish:
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut or granulated sugar
- Indian cloves , optional
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the condensed milk with the pumpkin puree, cream, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, nutmeg, and butter.
- Place the pan over low heat and stir well with a spatula. Once it begins to boil, continue stirring for 7 minutes until the mixture turns into a creamy consistency, thickens, and easily releases from the bottom of the pan.
- While stirring, ensure to scrape the bottom and sides of the pan with the spatula to prevent the brigadeiro from burning. To test if it's ready, gently tilt the pan; the brigadeiro should detach from the bottom.
- Transfer the brigadeiro to a deep dish and allow it to cool completely at room temperature before shaping.
- Prepare 25 paper liners (number 4) and spread shredded coconut onto a deep dish. Set aside a small amount of butter for greasing your hands.
- To shape and decorate the brigadeiros: Grease your hands lightly with butter. Using a teaspoon, scoop a portion of the mixture, roll it into a ball, and then coat it evenly with shredded coconut by rolling it in the dish.
- Once coated, place the brigadeiro in a paper liner. Repeat the process until all the mixture is used. Serve immediately.

Notes
- How to Store & Freeze
- Brigadeiro 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.
