Ingredients

2 tablespoons of high-quality cocoa powder
1 can of sweetened condensed milk
1 tablespoon of unsalted butter
2 tablespoons of high-quality cocoa powder
1 can of sweetened condensed milk
1 tablespoon of unsalted butter
Where to find ingredients
Look for cocoa powder in the baking aisle of your local supermarket or grocery store. For chocolate sprinkles, check the baking or confectionery section, or visit specialty stores that sell baking supplies. If unavailable, you can substitute with finely chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips. Sweetened condensed milk is widely available in most supermarkets, often near other baking ingredients. Butter can be found in the dairy section, preferably unsalted. For a more authentic touch, some stores may carry Brazilian-style brigadeiro toppings or sprinkles, but regular chocolate sprinkles work perfectly. If shopping online, search for baking supplies or international food sections. Local markets or Latin grocery stores may also stock these items, especially in areas with diverse communities.
