4-Ingredient Strawberry Brigadeiros (Moranguinho)

Strawberry brigadeiros are fudgy candies made from sweetened condensed milk, strawberry gelatin, unsalted butter, and granulated sugar. They are cute and make great party treats!

📝 Ingredients

• 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)
• 1/2 package strawberry gelatin powder (i.e. half of 3 oz (85 g) package-- it can be diet gelatin if you wish)
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• Granulated sugar to sprinkle
• Cloves to garnish

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Whisk the condensed milk and strawberry gelatin powder together until obtaining a homogeneous mixture (without lumps). Then, stir in the butter.
2. 2Cook in a medium non-stick saucepan or skillet over medium-low to medium heat (large burner), stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and starts to peel away or show the bottom of the pan when you scrape it with your wood spoon (about 5-8 minutes). The strawberry fudge mixture should be thick enough to reveal the bottom of the pan for a couple of seconds before the mixture levels out again.
3. 3When the strawberry fudge is ready, remove from the stove and spread mixture onto a plate greased with butter.
4. 4Let cool to room temperature before starting to roll them into balls with greased hands. Use a 1 teaspoon measuring spoon as measure. Then, shape them into strawberry shapes and dredge gently in sugar or sprinkle sugar all around until totally covered. Place into paper bonbon cups and garnish each with a clove as a "stem," as seen in the pictures. Enjoy!
