Chocolate vermicelli as needed for garnish
4 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Where to find ingredients
You can find these items at major supermarkets in Kenya like Naivas, Carrefour, or Chandarana Foodplus. Condensed milk and heavy cream are typically located in the baking or long-life milk aisles. If chocolate vermicelli is hard to find, you can substitute with grated dark chocolate or chocolate shavings from the confectionery aisle.
Preparation method
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the condensed milk, butter, and cocoa powder.
- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and begins to pull away from the bottom of the pan.
- Remove from the heat and allow the mixture to cool completely to room temperature.
- Once the brigadeiro base is cool, whisk in the heavy cream until you achieve a silky, homogeneous texture.
- Divide the mixture evenly among individual dessert glasses.
- Chill the glasses in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours until the cream is set.
- Garnish generously with chocolate vermicelli just before serving.
