BRIGADEIRO

Steps:

• Over medium-low heat, stir vigorously the three ingredients.
• Cook the mixture until it thickens enough to show the pan bottom during stirring (it will be firm enough to stay together and not spread) Pour into a greased dish and let cool to room temperature (or chill a few minutes in the fridge) Grease your hands with butter and take small amounts of candy and form into 1 1/2 inch balls.
• Roll the balls in chocolate jimmies to decorate.
• If the balls don't hold their shape, cook an additional 5 minutes until it thickens up more.

BRIGADEIRO

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine cocoa, butter and condensed milk. Cook, stirring, until thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest until cool enough to handle. Form into small balls and eat at once or chill until serving.

BRIGADEIRO

Steps:

• Combine the condensed milk, cocoa powder and butter in a small saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until very thick, 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool to room temperature, then roll into twelve 1-inch balls and dip in sprinkles. Alternatively, scoop out spoonfuls (leave in the spoon) and dip the top portion in sprinkles.

BRIGADEIROS

Steps:

• In a pan, add the condensed milk, chopped chocolate and butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring, for approximately 10 minutes or until it starts to come off from the bottom. Tilt the pan and you will see the magic happening. Pour the mixture over a plate coated with butter and let it cool at room temperature.
• Butter your hands and roll individual brigadeiros. Coat them in chocolate sprinkles and serve at room temperature for ultimate creaminess!

BRIGADEIROS

Steps:

• In a 2-quart saucepan, mix together the sweetened condensed milk, the cocoa powder and teh butter.
• Cook over medium low heat for 7-8 ninutes, stirring constantly, or until the candy forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
• Cool to room temperature.
• With buttered hands, shape the candy into 1-inch balls. Roll each in the sprinkles to cover and place each one in a paper or foil candy cup.
• Place in a container, cover, and refrigerate to chill before serving. Refrigerate any leftover candies.

BRIGADEIROS

Steps:

• Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking pan (or another heatproof vessel with approximately the same dimensions) with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
• In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, butter, and salt. Place the pan over medium heat and whisk often to encourage the butter to melt and the cocoa powder to dissolve. Once the candy comes to a bubble, reduce the heat to low and cook, whisking often. The candy is finished when it's the consistency of a thick brownie batter and slides in a soft mass from one side of the pan to the other when the pan is tilted-this can take anywhere from 15 to 25 minutes, depending on your stove, but it's better to keep the heat low and give the candy more time to cook down than to rush it and risk burning it. Stir in the vanilla extract. Pour the candy into the prepared baking pan. Chill in the refrigerator until the candy is somewhat firm with a claylike texture, about 1 hour.
• When you're ready to form the candies, pour your desired coatings onto individual plates. Use your fingers or a small ice cream scoop with a capacity of about 1 teaspoon to portion out bits of candy and roll them into 1-inch balls. Drop each ball into a dish of coating and roll to coat. Set the finished candies on a small baking sheet, or place them into small paper candy cups. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container.

BRAZILIAN CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES - BRIGADEIRO

Steps:

• In a medium heavy-based saucepan, heat the butter, condensed milk, a pinch of salt and the cocoa, to boiling, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Reduce the heat to medium-low; cook for 10-15 mins, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thick and shiny and starts to pull away from the bottom.
• Stir in the vanilla and vigorously mix again. Pour the mixture onto a buttered plate. Chill for at least 2 hrs.
• Butter your hands and pinch off some of the dough to make 2.5cm balls. Place your toppings into small bowls and roll the balls of one of the decorations. Place in mini paper baking cups or on a tray lined with non-stick baking paper.

CHOCOLATE BRIGADEIROS

Steps:

• 1 In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan, place the condensed milk, butter, heavy cream, and corn syrup and bring to a boil over medium heat.
• 2 When the mixture starts to bubble, add the chocolate and the cocoa powder. Whisk well, making sure there are no pockets of cocoa powder. Reduce the heat to low and cook, whisking constantly, until it is the consistency of a dense fudgy batter, 8 to 10 minutes. You want the mixture to bubble toward the end, so it's important to use low heat or the sides of the pan will burn the fudge. If you undercook it, the brigadeiro will be too soft; if you overcook it, it will be too chewy. It is done when you swirl the pan and the mixture slides as one soft piece, leaving a thick burnt residue on the bottom.
• 3 Slide the mixture into a bowl (without scraping the bottom) and let cool at room temperature. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
• 4 Scoop the mixture by the teaspoonful and, using your hands, roll each into a little ball about 3/4 inch in diameter (about the size of a chocolate truffle).
• 5 Place the sprinkles in a bowl. Roll 4 to 6 brigadeiros at a time through the sprinkles, making sure they cover the entire surface. Store in an airtight plastic container for 2 days or up to 1 month in the refrigerator.
