Instructions
Instructions
-
First, start by greasing a plate with butter. This will prevent the cooked Brigadeiro fudge from sticking to your plate after you transfer it there.
-
In a sauce pan over medium heat, combine your sweetened condensed milk, butter, Nesquick powder and unsweetened cocoa powder. Mix very well and no matter what, do not stop mixing!
-
After approximately 15 minutes of mixing, you will see that your mixture will begin to thicken. You’ll know it’s ready when it begins to hold its’ shape and resembles a thick paste rather than a liquid form. You should be able to run your spatula through the middle of your mixture without it coming back together for at least 3 seconds once it’s ready.
-
Pour your mixture onto the greased plate you prepared earlier.
-
Cool the brigadeiro mixture in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
-
Pour the sprinkles into a bowl with enough space for you to roll your Brigadeiros into little fudge balls.
-
Prepare the decorative candy cups that will hold the brigadieros.
-
Remove the chocolate truffle mixture from the refrigerator.
-
Grease your hands with butter. The butter will keep the mixture from sticking to your hands when rolling.
-
Scoop the brigadeiro mixture using a tbsp and roll into a ball.
-
Roll the brigadeiro over the sprinkles, covering any exposed spots.
-
Finally, place the Brazilian chocolate truffles into the decorative candy cups and enjoy!
