What is brigadeiro?
Brigadeiro is a beloved Brazilian chocolate delicacy, the best definition that we Brazilians could explain what is Brigadeiro, is that, It's not a truffle, it's not fudge, it's not a bonbon, it's a piece of heaven. Brigadeiro is unique unto itself.
Recipe for chocolate Brigadeiros
1 Can(198g)sweetened condensed milk
1 Cup chocolate chips (or chunks)
1 Tbsp unsalted butter
1 Cup ground chocolate (to coat)
Mix all of the ingredients in the pan on medium heat. Heat everything until it’s difficult to mix. While you’re heating it, keep mixing it the entire time. You're gonna know when it's ready when it comes off the pan. After, put it in the fridge for 2 hours. I usually eat it out of a bowl or put it on a cake. Some people roll brigadeiro into bolinhos (balls) and eat it that way. A great accent for brigadeiro is chocolate sprinkles. Try it! Be happy.
