Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixture

    In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, butter, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until everything is combined.

  2. 2

    Cook the Mixture

    Place the saucepan over medium heat. Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens and starts to pull away from the sides of the pan. This should take about 10-15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cool the Mixture

    Once thickened, remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool for about 15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Shape the Brigadeiros

    Grease your hands with butter and take small amounts of the mixture to roll into balls about the size of a cherry.

  5. 5

    Coat with Sprinkles

    Roll the balls in chocolate sprinkles until fully coated. Place them in paper cups for serving.
