Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 tablespoon butter salted
  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
  • 4 tablespoons cocoa powder unsweetened
  • salt pinch
  • 1 cup Sprinkles
  • 24 cupcake liners mini

Instructions

  1. To a small-medium pot, add the butter, sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, and pinch of salt. Heat on low-medium heat and whisk together to combine. Cook for 4-5 minutes stirring as it thickens. It is done when a spatula scraped along the bottom leaves a trail for 3-5 seconds. Remove from the heat.
  2. Butter a shallow dish and pour the chocolate into the dish. Place in the refrigerator to cool for 15-20 minutes or in the freezer for 10 minutes.
  3. Once the chocolate has firmed up and cooled, scoop a tablespoon of it up and then roll it into a ball. Roll the brigadeiro in sprinkles and then place in mini cupcake paper liners.

Notes

  • How should I store the brigadeiros?  I recommend storing these in the refrigerator in an airtight container. You can leave them out at room temperature, but I find that they may get too soft and mushy. It's also safer to store them in the fridge as it reduces the likelihood of bacteria from forming.
  • How long will these brigadeiros last?If stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container, the brigadeiros will last up to 7 days. If stored at room temperature, they will last 2-3 days.
  • Is this Brigadeiro recipe Gluten-Free?Yes, this recipe is a gluten-free. Always be sure to check the labels of all of your ingredients, however, to ensure each is gluten free.
