Where to find ingredients
You can find sweetened condensed milk and cocoa powder in the baking aisle of local supermarkets in Malawi. If 'creme de leite' is unavailable, full-fat heavy cream can be used as a substitute, though it will result in a slightly different 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—the point where it starts to pull away from the bottom of the pan.
- Remove from the heat and allow it to cool down completely.
- Once the chocolate mixture is cool, fold in the table cream until you achieve a smooth and homogenous consistency.
- Portion the cream into individual dessert glasses or coupes.
- Refrigerate the glasses for at least 4 hours to allow the dessert to set properly.
- Garnish with chocolate sprinkles to your preference before serving.
