🍫 Brigadeiros Recipe (Brazilian Chocolate Fudge Balls)

Brigadeiros are Brazil’s most beloved chocolate treats — rich, fudgy, chewy, and coated in chocolate sprinkles. They’re easy to make with only 3 main ingredients and are perfect for parties, desserts, and gifts.

⭐ Ingredients

  • 1 can (395 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • Chocolate sprinkles (for rolling)
  • Butter (for greasing your hands)

🍫 Instructions

1. Cook the Mixture

  • In a non-stick saucepan, combine condensed milk, cocoa powder, and butter.
  • Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly.

2. Thicken

  • Cook for 10–12 minutes, until the mixture thickens and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
  • This stage is called ponto de brigadeiro (brigadeiro point).

3. Cool

  • Transfer the mixture to a plate.
  • Let it cool completely (30–40 minutes).

4. Shape the Balls

  • Grease your hands lightly with butter.
  • Roll small portions into balls.

5. Coat

  • Roll brigadeiros in chocolate sprinkles until evenly coated.

6. Serve or Refrigerate

  • Place in mini cupcake liners and chill for 15–20 minutes for best texture.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

  1. Party Dessert Tray
    Serve brigadeiros in mini liners along with other Brazilian sweets.

  2. Gift Boxes
    Package them in decorative boxes for holidays or birthdays.

  3. Serve with Fruit
    Pair with strawberries, bananas, or grapes for contrast.

  4. Coffee Pairing
    Enjoy brigadeiros with espresso, cappuccino, or mate tea.

  5. Topping for Ice Cream
    Crumble brigadeiros over vanilla or chocolate ice cream.
