Ingredients
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Chocolate sprinkles for coating
Directions
- In a medium-sized non-stick saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk and cocoa powder.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens and starts to pull away from the sides of the pan. This should take about 10-15 minutes.
- Add the butter to the mixture and continue stirring until it melts and incorporates into the mixture.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool completely.
- Once the mixture has cooled, lightly grease your hands with butter and start rolling the brigadeiros into small balls, about the size of a cherry.
- Roll each brigadeiro ball in the chocolate sprinkles until fully coated.
- Place the brigadeiros on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
- Serve and enjoy!
