Where to find ingredients
You can find sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, and table cream in the baking or international aisles of local supermarkets like Hi-Lo, Progressive, or SuperValu. If table cream (creme de leite) is unavailable, heavy cream is a suitable substitute, though it will produce a slightly richer texture.
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, where it begins to pull away from the bottom of the pan.
- Remove from the heat and allow it to cool completely.
- Once the mixture is cooled, stir in the table cream until you have a smooth, silky, and homogeneous consistency.
- Divide the mixture evenly into individual dessert glasses or coupes.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours to allow the cream to firm up.
- Top with chocolate sprinkles before serving.
