Brigadeiros tradicionais

Ingredientes

• 1 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
• 4 Tbsp. cocoa powder (sifted)
• 2 Tbsp. butter (plus more for rolling balls)
• 1/8 tsp. salt
• Mini paper muffin cups (found in grocery baking aisle)
• Sprinkles of your choice (I recommend chocolate and rainbow!)

Modo de preparo

1. 1

   In a small sauce pan set to medium-low heat, mix condensed milk, cocoa powder, butter and salt.

2. 2

   Cook mixture, stirring constantly (this is important, otherwise it will burn!) until it thickens, about 7 to 9 minutes. Run your spoon in the middle of the mixture. If it moves slowly, then it has thickened enough.

3. 3

   Pour mixture into a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

4. 4

   Pour sprinkles into a bowl or plate.

5. 5

   Once the mixture is cool, remove from the refrigerator and prepare your mini paper cups. Grease your hands with butter. Roll the mixture into little balls. (about half a tablespoon - or, as big or small as you'd like!)

6. 6

   Roll the brigadeiro balls into the sprinkles. Place each in a mini paper muffin cup.

7. 7

   Refrigerate until ready to serve.

8. 8

   Enjoy!
