Classic Brigadeiro Recipe-Brazilian Chocolate Truffles
Ingredients
- 1 can condensed milk 14 oz
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1/4 cup Nesquik
- Sprinkles to coat brigadeiro
- Oil as needed
Instructions
- Add butter and condensed milk into a medium sized pan.
- Sift Nesquik into the pan.
- Turn the flame to medium low heat and stir continuously until your mixture starts to thicken.
- Once your mixture has thickened, turn off the flame and pour the mixture onto a greased plate. Refrigerate for one to two hours, just until it is firm enough to roll.
- Lightly grease your hands and roll the brigadeiro into your hands and then into the sprinkles, making sure that the brigadeiro is equally covered on all sides.
Notes
- The amount of time it takes for your brigadeiro to cook will depend on the kind of stove you have and the heat you have the mixture cooking at.
- For my stove, this recipe normally takes about 10-15 minutes to thicken to the right consistency. However, I’ve made brigadeiro on an older stove, and it’s taken 20-25 minutes.
- If you’re wondering what the “right consistency” of brigadeiro is, you can find that information under the headline “How do I know when my brigadeiro is done?” in this blog post.
