Where to find ingredients
You can find these staples at local supermarkets in the baking aisle. Sweetened condensed milk and lime gelatin are standard items in most grocery stores. If desired, you may substitute unsalted butter for the margarine for a richer flavor, though the original recipe calls for margarine.
Preparation method
- Dissolve the lime gelatin in the hot water, stirring thoroughly until smooth.
- Set the mixture aside.
- In a saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, margarine, and the dissolved gelatin.
- Place the pan over medium-low heat.
- Stir constantly until the mixture thickens to the rolling point, where it pulls away from the bottom of the pan when a spoon is dragged through it.
- Pour the mixture onto a greased plate and let it cool completely.
- With lightly greased hands, roll small portions of the mixture into balls and coat them in granulated sugar.
- Place the finished brigadeiros into paper cups and serve.
