Instructions
Prep
Sift 2 tbsp cocoa powder. Measure 200g sweetened condensed milk, 15g unsalted butter, 1 pinch fine salt, 3 tbsp chocolate sprinkles, and 1 tsp softened butter for rolling. Have a non-stick saucepan, wooden spoon, lightly oiled plate, spatula, shallow dish, and small paper cases ready.
Simmer
Combine condensed milk, sifted cocoa, butter, and salt in the non-stick saucepan. Whisk off heat 1 minute until cocoa disperses fully. Place over medium-low heat, stir constantly 8–10 minutes until glossy, then pulling away from sides, leaving a clean trail—the brigadeiro point. Immediately pour onto oiled plate.
Rest
Spread mixture flat with spatula. Cool at room temperature 15 minutes until firm enough to handle but still pliable.
Finish
Lightly butter your hands. Scoop teaspoon-sized portions and roll between palms into smooth 2cm balls. Roll each ball firmly in chocolate sprinkles to coat densely on all sides.
Plate
Place each brigadeiro in a small paper petit-four case. Serve at room temperature, 4 per person. Store in an airtight container up to 3 days.
