Ingredients
1 can of sweetened condensed milk
1 tablespoon of butter or margarine
3 tablespoons of cocoa powder
1 tablespoon of butter or margarine
3 tablespoons of cocoa powder
Where to find ingredients
You can find sweetened condensed milk and quality cocoa powder in the baking or international aisles of local markets in Majuro and throughout the Marshall Islands. If you cannot find high-quality cocoa powder, a standard unsweetened baking cocoa is a suitable substitute.
Preparation method
- Place the butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan and melt it over medium heat.
- Add the sweetened condensed milk and cocoa powder to the pan.
- Whisk or stir well until the ingredients are fully combined into a smooth paste.
- Continue to cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, for about 10 to 15 minutes until the mixture begins to pull away from the bottom of the pan.
- Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly before serving in individual portions.
Observations
The brigadeiro de colher is a staple of Brazilian confectionery, cherished for its smooth consistency and the deep, comforting flavor of chocolate. Unlike its rolled counterpart, this version is intentionally kept softer to be enjoyed directly from a bowl or small glass. It is an excellent choice for those seeking a fuss-free yet sophisticated sweet. Whether served at casual gatherings or as a satisfying end to a meal, its melt-in-the-mouth texture and iconic flavor profile remain a favorite for all ages.
