Where to find ingredients
You can find condensed milk, unsalted butter, and cocoa powder at any major supermarket or local grocery store. For 'creme de leite' (table cream), look for the shelf-stable cartons in the dairy or baking aisle. If you cannot find this exact type of cream, full-fat heavy cream is a suitable substitute.
Preparation method
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the condensed milk, butter, and cocoa powder.
- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches the 'brigadeiro' consistency—thick enough to pull away cleanly from the bottom of the pan.
- Remove the pan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool down completely.
- Once the chocolate mixture is cool, gently fold in the table cream until the consistency is smooth, silky, and fully incorporated.
- Divide the mixture equally into individual dessert cups or small glass bowls.
- Refrigerate the cups for at least 4 hours to ensure they set properly and develop a firm, chilled texture.
- Top with chocolate sprinkles just before serving.
