We have partnered with our friends at the insanely popular Brazillian bakery @padaria_to for our last edition of #shiplakecooks - Padaria serves up authentic, made-from-scratch Brazillian savoury and sweet delights and is "a home away from home for Brazilians.
The most popular Brazilian sweet/ treat that is like a delicious bonbon or truffle is called Brigadeiro! Try it and share it with us!!!!
Ingredients
-
1 (14oz) can sweetened condensed milk (1 can)
-
4 tbsp cocoa powder, sifted
-
2 Tbsp butter, plus more for rolling balls
-
Good quality chocolate sprinkles (or any other type of sprinkles you like)
Directions
-
In a small saucepan mix the sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder and butter.
-
Bring the saucepan to the stove and heat it over medium-low heat.
-
Cook it, mixing constantly (this is important, otherwise it will burn!) until it thickens. A way to know is to run your wooden spoon (or spatula) in the middle of the mixture. If it takes a while for the mixture to move, then your Brigadeiro is ready!
-
Reserve, letting it cool to room temperature.
-
In a plate or bowl, spread your sprinkles.
-
Once the Brigadeiro is cool, grease your hands with butter and roll the Brigadeiros into little balls. (In Brazil we usually use half a tablespoon as measurement, but you can make your balls as big or small as you'd like!)
-
Roll the Brigadeiro balls into the sprinkles and place them in paper/foil candy cups.
