Ingredients
1 tin condensed milk
4 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 carton table cream
Chocolate sprinkles to taste for garnishing
4 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 carton table cream
Chocolate sprinkles to taste for garnishing
Where to find ingredients
Condensed milk and cocoa powder can be found in the baking aisle of any major supermarket. Table cream (often labeled as 'table cream' or 'nestlé cream' in imports) is usually found in the canned goods or baking sections. Chocolate sprinkles are standard in the baking or confectionery aisle. If you cannot find specific Brazilian-style table cream, a standard thick double cream or full-fat single cream works as a suitable substitute to achieve the desired texture.
Preparation method
- In a saucepan, combine the condensed milk, butter, and cocoa powder
- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens to a brigadeiro consistency and starts pulling away from the bottom of the pan
- Remove from the heat and allow it to cool down completely
- Once the brigadeiro base has cooled, stir in the table cream until you have a smooth, silky mixture
- Spoon the mixture into individual dessert cups
- Place the cups in the fridge for at least 4 hours to set properly
- Garnish with chocolate sprinkles to your liking before serving
