Brigadeiros patrióticos com 4 ingredientes

Ingredientes

• 2 (14-oz) cans sweetened condensed milk
• 1 1/2 Tablespoons unsalted butter ((one and a half tbsp))
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• food coloring (Red and Blue)
• red/white/blue sprinkles (optional)

Modo de preparo

1. 1

   Combine sweetened condensed milk with unsalted butter in a wide, no stick pan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until obtaining a homogeneous mixture (without lumps).

2. 2

   Mixture is ready when it thickens and starts to peel away or show the bottom of the pan when you scrape it with your wood spoon (about 10-15 minutes, depending on how potent your stovetop is).

3. 3

   NOTE: The fudge mixture should be thick enough to reveal the bottom of the pan for a couple of seconds before the mixture levels out again.

4. 4

   When the fudge mixture is ready, remove from the stovetop and stir in the vanilla extract. Next, spread 1/3 of the mixture in the center of a large plate greased with unsalted butter.

5. 5

   Place another 1/3 of the mixture in a bowl and stir in about 15 drops of blue food coloring and 2 drops of red. Then, place the remaining 1/3 of the fudge mixture in another bowl and stir in about 15 drops of red food coloring and 2 of blue.

6. 6

   Transfer both the blue and red mixtures to the greased plate, spreading them around the white as shown in one of the pictures above. Let cool completely!

7. 7

   Using a tablespoon as measurement, scoop out one spoon of the white/red/blue mixture (starting from the center to the edge of the plate) and with greased hands, roll out into balls.

8. 8

   Place each bowl into a paper bonbon cup and if desired, place a few patriotic color star-sprinkles on top. Enjoy!
