Best 7 Brigadeiros Chocolate Fudge Truffles Recipes

TRIO OF BRIGADEIROS

Steps:

• Spray a shallow dish with cooking spray and set aside. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. When the butter has melted, whisk in the condensed milk, cocoa powder and salt until well combined. Cook over a medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula, until the mixture becomes thick and starts to pull away from the bottom and sides of the pan, 7 to 15 minutes.
• Pour the mixture onto the prepared dish and spread it out so it cools quickly. DO NOT touch the mixture with your hands at this point-it is VERY hot. If you are having trouble spreading, use a rubber spatula or spoon. (It doesn't need to look perfect.) Refrigerate until cool enough to comfortably handle, about 1 hour to 70 minutes. (The colder the mixture, the easier the next steps will be.)
• Place the coconut, sprinkles and cocoa powder in separate shallow bowls. Take a tablespoon of the candy mixture and form into a ball. Place the ball on a sheet pan. Continue forming the balls and placing on the sheet pan until all of the mixture is used; you should have 24 to 28 small balls. Once all the balls are prepared, roll each in one of the desired coatings, pressing the flaked coconut and sprinkles coatings so they stick. Place each coated ball in a little paper cup. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to eat.

BRIGADEIRO - BRAZILIAN CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES

Steps:

• Grease large shallow pan or platter with butter. In 4-quart nonstick heavy saucepan, heat condensed milk, cocoa and 2 tablespoons butter to boiling, stirring constantly with wooden spoon. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook 10 to 15 minutes, stirring constantly, until mixture is thick and shiny and starts to pull away from bottom and side of saucepan when pan is tilted. Pour mixture into shallow pan; cool completely (refrigerate to firm up faster).
• Place remaining ingredients in separate small bowls. Use teaspoon or melon baller to scoop truffle mixture, then use greased hands to shape into 1- to 1 1/2-inch balls. Roll each ball in pistachios, almonds, coconut or sprinkles. Place in mini paper baking cups.
• Store tightly covered at room temperature up to 2 days or in the refrigerator up to 1 week.

BRIGADEIRO RECIPE (BRAZILIAN TRUFFLES)

Steps:

• Set a large wide pot over medium heat. Add the sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, butter and salt. Mix well.
• Cook the fudge, stirring consistently, so the condensed milk doesn't burn, for 12-18 minutes. The fudge will thicken from a thin brownie-like batter to a thick fudgy dough texture. Once it's very thick, remove from heat.
• Allow the fudge to cool and thicken to room temperature.
• Set out 45 mini cupcake liners on a rimmed baking sheet. Pour the sprinkles into a shallow dish.
• Butter your hands so the fudge doesn't stick. Portion out 2 teaspoon balls of fudge and roll tightly in your hands. Then dunk the fudge ball in the sprinkles and shake the pan to coat the ball on all sides.
• Place the coated fudge ball in a paper liner. Repeat, repeat, repeat. Once all the fudge balls are formed and coated in sprinkles, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator to help the balls set.
