Where to find ingredients
Look for the ingredients in the baking aisle, the chilled dairy section, and the baking supplies area of supermarkets, grocery stores, or neighborhood wet markets. If needed, lemon-flavored gelatin can be used as a substitute for lime-flavored gelatin, while keeping the original ingredient ideal.
Preparation method
- Dissolve the lime gelatin in the hot water, stirring well until smooth
- Set aside
- In a saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, the margarine, and the dissolved gelatin
- Cook over medium-low heat
- Stir constantly until the brigadeiro reaches the rolling stage, meaning it pulls away from the bottom of the pan when you run a spoon through it
- Pour the brigadeiro onto a greased plate and let it cool completely
- With greased hands, roll small portions of the brigadeiro and coat them in the granulated crystal sugar
- Place the brigadeiros in paper candy cups and serve
