Where to find ingredients
Find sweetened condensed milk and lime gelatin in the baking aisle of local supermarkets like Super Value or Solomon's. Granulated sugar and margarine are staple items available in any grocery store. For a richer flavor, high-quality butter may be used as a substitute for margarine.
Preparation method
- Dissolve the lime gelatin in the hot water, stirring thoroughly until smooth.
- Set the mixture aside.
- In a saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, margarine, and the dissolved gelatin.
- Place the pan over medium-low heat.
- Stir constantly until the mixture reaches the 'rolling point,' where it thickens and begins to pull away cleanly from the bottom of the pan.
- Pour the mixture onto a lightly greased plate and allow it to cool completely.
- With greased hands, scoop small portions of the mixture, roll them into balls, and coat them in granulated sugar.
- Place the finished brigadeiros into paper candy cups and serve.
