Olá! (the Brazilian way),
Today I will show you how to make Brigadeiros to add more culture in the kitchen! This is a soft, sweet traditional desert from Brazilian that you will love, which can be eaten in a single bite.
It is easy to prepare and does not involve any ovens. All you need is a hob, a saucepan and four ingredients. So, below are the ingredients!
Ingredients
200 grams sweetened condensed milk
1/3 Chocolate chips or chopped chocolate of your preference
Half tablespoon unsalted butter
Some pecans cut in half for decorations (or your favorite nuts)
Small cupcake papers
Method
1. In a saucepan on low heat put in the condensed milk and the chocolate chips and swirl constantly until all the chocolate melts and the mixture will be creamy, viscous and well incorporated.
2. Add the butter and melt it and keep stirring.
3. When done, prepare a flat dinner plate and spread the mixture thinly on it. Cover with plastic and let cool. Do not put in the fridge, you don't want it to solidify too much.
4. After several hours cooling, the texture of the mixture would be paste-like and does not stick to your fingers too much.
5. Now, the best part! Prepare some small pretty cupcakes papers and start rolling you brigadeiros using clean hands. They should be approximately 1 inch in diameter.
6. If you want to cover them with crushed nuts and/or some hundreds and thousands, you can just roll them through the nuts and place them in a cupcake paper. This time I cut pecans in half and placed one on each. If you want some extra decoration, you can also find edible gold leaf too for the special occasion.
7. Put them in the fridge to solidify more and serve.
Enjoy!
ps. Do not eat them all.. they are addictive and you can also listen to this brazilian music playlist while making them!
Boa Noite !
