Where to find ingredients
You can easily find all these pantry staples in any local supermarket. Sweetened condensed milk is typically located in the baking aisle or alongside evaporated milk. For the cocoa powder, look in the coffee or baking sections; ensure it is unsweetened cocoa powder for a rich, authentic taste. If you're struggling to find specific Brazilian ingredients, check the international aisle or any local specialty Latin grocers, though these standard items are readily available in most grocery stores.
Preparation method
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat
- Stir in the sweetened condensed milk and cocoa powder until well combined
- Whisk everything thoroughly to ensure the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated
- Keep stirring constantly for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until the mixture begins to pull away from the bottom of the pan
- Remove from the heat and let it cool down slightly before serving in bowls or small cups
