Where to find ingredients
You can find sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, and chocolate sprinkles in the baking aisle of most local supermarkets in Belize. For authentic results, use Brazilian-style table cream (creme de leite), which can often be sourced at specialty import markets or larger grocery stores. If unavailable, a heavy cream with a slightly lower fat content may serve as a substitute.
Preparation method
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, butter, and cocoa powder.
- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it reaches the traditional 'brigadeiro' consistency, when it starts to pull away from the bottom of the pan.
- Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool completely.
- Once the brigadeiro base is cool, fold in the table cream and stir thoroughly until you achieve a silky, homogeneous consistency.
- Divide the mixture into individual dessert glasses.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours to allow it to set.
- Garnish with chocolate sprinkles to taste before serving.
