Brigadeiro – Tornadough Alli
Brigadeiros are rich chocolate truffles made from just a few simple ingredients. Their creamy texture and sweet flavor make them a favorite at birthday parties and celebrations across Brazil. Here’s how you can create these delicious bites right in your own kitchen.
Ingredients:
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Chocolate sprinkles (for coating)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, unsalted butter, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to mix all the ingredients together.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly. Continue to cook until it thickens and begins to pull away from the sides of the pan. This should take about 10-15 minutes.
- Once thickened, remove the mixture from the heat and transfer it to a greased plate or bowl. Allow it to cool to room temperature.
- When the mixture is cool enough to handle, grease your hands with a little butter and scoop out small portions of the mixture. Roll each piece into a ball about the size of a cherry.
- Roll the Brigadeiros in chocolate sprinkles until fully coated. Place them on a serving platter or in paper cups for a festive presentation.
- Serve your Brigadeiros at room temperature and watch them disappear!
