Where to find ingredients
You can find sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, butter, and table cream in the baking or dairy aisles of major supermarkets throughout Fiji. Table cream (creme de leite) is essential for the texture; if unavailable, a thick heavy cream can be used as a substitute, though the final richness may vary.
Preparation method
- In a saucepan, combine the condensed milk, butter, and cocoa powder.
- Place over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches the traditional consistency where it begins to pull away from the bottom of the pan.
- Remove from the heat and allow the mixture to cool completely.
- Once the brigadeiro base is cool, stir in the table cream until the mixture is smooth and silky.
- Divide the cream evenly into individual dessert cups or glasses.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow the dessert to set properly.
- Garnish with chocolate sprinkles before serving.
