Description

Taken from the Scouts Activity Planner: https://www.scouts.org.uk/activities/brazilian-brigadeiros/

Try this super simple recipe and make some traditional Brazilian sweets.
- The name brigadeiro is linked to Brigadier Eduardo Gomes, one of the candidates for a presidential election in Brazil in the 1940s.
- The doce de brigadeiro (brigadier’s sweet) became popular as women at the time sold them in support of the presidential campaign. The name was eventually shortened to just brigadeiro.
- These tasty treats are traditionally made (and eaten!) at children’s birthday parties and other celebrations like weddings. They’ve remained popular because they’re really easy to make.

Resources

1 can condensed milk
Four tablespoons cocoa powder
One tablespoon butter or margarine
50g chocolate sprinkles
(serves 6)

Instructions

1. Add the condensed milk, butter, and cocoa powder to a pan and mix everything together.
2. Light your stove and put the pan on to heat the mixture. Stir it well so that the ingredients dissolve. It’s ready when it begins to peel off the bottom of the pan, this usually take about 15 minutes.
3. When it’s ready, pour the mixture out into a bowl and let it cool. You can put the mixture into the fridge or freezer so that it cools quicker. Be careful that you don’t raise the temperature and ruin other food inside.
4. When it’s cool enough to handle, spread your hands with a little margarine or butter and form the brigadeiros (the balls) one by one.
5. Roll each ball in the chocolate sprinkles and arrange them on a plate.
6. Eat and enjoy!
