Comment préparer

1
Lightly butter a heatproof plate and set it aside. Combine the condensed milk, sifted cocoa powder, and 20 g of the butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan, stirring until no dry cocoa remains.
2
Cook the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a silicone spatula and scraping the base and corners, until it begins to bubble gently and looks smooth and glossy, about 8 minutes.
3
Reduce the heat to low and continue stirring for 5 to 7 minutes, until the mixture pulls cleanly from the sides and bottom of the pan and gathers into a thick mound. Do not let it brown or scorch.

4
Remove the pan from the heat, stir in the remaining 10 g of butter, and spread the mixture onto the prepared plate. Let it cool at room temperature for 30 to 40 minutes, then refrigerate for 30 minutes until firm enough to shape.
5
Butter your hands lightly. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the chilled mixture for each truffle, roll it between your palms into a smooth ball, and place each ball in the bowl of chocolate sprinkles.
6
Roll each brigadeiro through the sprinkles until evenly coated, then transfer to small paper candy cups. Serve at room temperature for the softest, creamiest texture.

Pourquoi cette recette fonctionne

Sweetened condensed milk provides concentrated sweetness and body, while cocoa adds bitterness and butter gives the truffles a glossy, supple finish. Slow simmering drives off enough moisture for a firm but creamy center.

Conservation et réchauffage

Comment la conserver

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. Separate layers with parchment paper and bring to room temperature for 15 minutes before serving.

Comment la réchauffer

Do not reheat. If the mixture becomes too firm while chilled, let the shaped brigadeiros stand at room temperature until pleasantly soft.
