Brigadeiro
Brazil · Latin America
Brigadeiro is a small chocolate sweet with a soft centre. Condensed milk is cooked with chocolate and butter until the mixture thickens enough to shape after cooling. The portions are rolled into balls, coated and placed in small paper cases. Panelinha’s dark-chocolate preparation uses chocolate sprinkles to cover the surface.[1]
Juliana Motter’s recipe, adapted for home kitchens from her Maria Brigadeiro shop, combines cocoa powder and dark chocolate with condensed milk, butter and cream. The chocolate is added after the milk mixture has thickened, and the cooled sweets are coated in milk-chocolate shavings. Cooking the mixture to a softer consistency also produces a spoonable form of brigadeiro.[2]
