Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup chocolate sprinkles
Instructions
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, unsweetened cocoa powder, and butter. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Place the bowl in the microwave and heat on high for 1 minute.
Remove the bowl carefully, as it may be hot, and stir the mixture to prevent it from burning.
Repeat microwaving in 1-minute increments, stirring each time, for a total of 3 to 5 minutes. The mixture is ready when it thickens to a fudge-like consistency and pulls away from the sides of the bowl when stirred.
Allow the mixture to cool for about 15-20 minutes, or until it's cool enough to handle.
Grease your hands lightly with butter and scoop teaspoon-sized portions of the cooled mixture. Roll each portion into a ball between your palms.
Roll each ball in chocolate sprinkles until fully coated.
Place the finished brigadeiros in small paper candy cups, if desired, and serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.
