Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Add the Nesquick strawberry or ground freeze-dried strawberries and continue to stir for about 20 minutes or until the mixture thickens to the point where it can be shaped into balls.
  3. 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.
  4. Once ready, transfer the brigadeiro de morango 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. 
  5. To form the brigadeiro, lightly grease your hands with some butter and take a small amount of the mixture, rolling it into a ball.
  6. Roll the ball in the granulated sugar, sprinkles, or ground freeze-dried strawberries 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.
