Recipe of Brigadeiro

Ingredients

• tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk

• Chocolate sprinkles, for coating

Directions

1. 1

   In a non-stick saucepan, add the cocoa powder, sweetened condensed milk, and butter.

2. 2

   Cook the mixture over low to medium heat, stirring continuously to prevent it from sticking to the pan.

4. 4

   Remove the mixture from the heat and let it cool slightly.

5. 5

   Grease your hands with a bit of butter or oil to prevent sticking, then scoop up small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls about the size of a cherry.

6. 6

   Roll each brigadeiro ball in chocolate sprinkles until they're evenly coated.

7. 7

   Place the brigadeiros in small paper cups or on a plate lined with parchment paper to cool completely.

8. 8

   Once they're cool, they're ready to enjoy! Brazilian brigadeiros are a delightful sweet treat for any occasion.
