Ingredients
1 can sweetened condensed milk
4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 carton (approx. 200g) heavy cream (creme de leite)
Chocolate sprinkles (granulado) to taste, for decoration
4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 carton (approx. 200g) heavy cream (creme de leite)

Where to find ingredients
Sweetened condensed milk is found in the baking aisle of any supermarket. For the authentic Brazilian experience, use high-quality cocoa powder rather than hot cocoa mix. Heavy cream, known as 'creme de leite' in Brazil, can be replaced by standard heavy whipping cream or double cream found in the dairy section. Chocolate sprinkles (granulado) are widely available in the cake decorating or baking aisle, though you may find smaller, firmer, and more authentic-looking dark chocolate vermicelli at specialty international grocers or Latin markets.
Preparation method
- In a small saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, butter, and cocoa powder
- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens to a fudge-like consistency and starts pulling away from the bottom of the pan
- Remove from the heat and allow it to cool completely
- Once the chocolate base has cooled, fold in the heavy cream and whisk thoroughly until you have a smooth, silky, and homogeneous ganache-like texture
- Spoon the mixture evenly into individual dessert glasses or pots
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow the cream to set properly
- Top with a generous amount of chocolate sprinkles just before serving
