Brigadeiro is a classic Brazilian delicacy which is made with 3 easy to find ingredients and the preparation is as simple as could be. According to wiki, it was created in 1940’s. This is again very easy to make no bake truffle recipe which tastes gooey and dense. I made these twice, The first time I made and my daughter couldn’t resist till I clicked so it was her treat and the light played hide and seek so gave up to photograph them. The second time I made again the light played with me and ended up shooting it in low light condition, But I had to. Hope I have done justice to this deliciousness.
I am a big time chocolate lover and I assure you won’t stop just by having one of these beautiful truffles. The beauty is when these perfectly shaped truffles placed on the cupcake liner and you see them from sideways, you should see the perfect dome shape on the top. The Trick is cooking them perfectly not too less or not too long. This classic Brazilian delicacy is most famous candy in Brazil served in parties. It is can me had without rolling them in any kind of sprinkles or nuts. This addictive truffle had to be included in my theme this week for BM ” All that come round are ladoos”. Though I first thought to make Indian ladoos, it was a nice chance for me to experiment all the international dishes that looks like ladoos. So here is my classic Brigadeiro Recipe, Hope someday I make a Gourmet brigadeiro sweet box this is my future project :)…
- Sweetened Condensed Milk - 1 can ( 14 OZ)
- Cocoa pd - 3-4 tbsp
- Butter - 2 tbsp
- Salt - A pinch
- Chocolate sprinkle - To coat
- Take a saucepan, Mix condensed milk, cocoa pd, butter.
- Keep the heat medium and stir it constantly ( otherwise it will burn from the bottom) with a wooden ladle until the mixture thickens.
- To find the correct consistency just scrape the wooden ladle in middle of the pan and the mixture should take time to move back to its the
place . - The mixture will thicken in few minutes and leave the sides of the pan.
- Transfer the chocolate mixture to a tray and cool it down to room temperature.
- After it comes to room temperature cling wrap and
store it in the refrigerator for an hour so that it firms up faster. - In a plate pour the chocolate sprinkle.
- Use a teaspoon and scoop some of the chocolate mixtures and make equal sized balls.
- Roll each ball in the chocolate sprinkles and place them on a mini cupcake liner or a plate.
- Store them in a tight container for a week.
