Brigadeiro – Brazilian Chocolate Truffles
Ingredients
- 1 can 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Pinch of salt
- Chocolate sprinkles cocoa powder, shredded coconut, or finely chopped nuts for rolling
Instructions
- Whisk condensed milk, cocoa powder, butter, and salt together in a saucepan before heating
- Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly and scraping the pan, for 10–15 minutes
- Continue cooking until thick, glossy, and pulling away from the sides of the pan
- Transfer to a lightly buttered plate or dish and cool until easy to handle
- Butter hands lightly, scoop about 1 tablespoon, and roll into balls
- Roll each truffle in desired coating and place in mini liners
Notes
• Stir constantly to prevent burning or grainy texture
• Cook low and slow—undercooked mixture will not roll
• Always mix cocoa before heating to avoid lumps
• Butter pan, plate, and hands lightly for best results
