Prepare the Brigadeiro Mixture
In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, unsweetened cocoa powder, and unsalted butter. Cook the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a spatula or wooden spoon.
-
Cook Until Thickened
Continue stirring the mixture for about 10-15 minutes or until it thickens and starts to pull away from the sides of the pan. Once the mixture has thickened to a fudge-like consistency, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.
-
Form the Brigadeiros
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and roll them into smooth balls between your palms. Place the balls on a plate or tray lined with parchment paper..jpg)
-
Coat with Chocolate Sprinkles & Coconut
Roll each brigadeiro ball in the chocolate sprinkles or coconut, until evenly coated, pressing gently to adhere.
-
Chill and Serve
Once all the brigadeiros are coated, refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes to firm up. Serve the chilled brigadeiros on a platter or in individual paper cases for a delicious Brazilian treat! Store any leftover brigadeiros in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Bring them to room temperature before serving for the best texture and flavor.

Incredibly simple and delicious. A huge hit at parties!
Easy & yummy! A touch dry, maybe add more milk?
Simple and good, but a bit sweet. Reduce condensed milk if you prefer less sweetness.
Perfectly rich and fudgy! These brigadiers are a sweet treat that’s hard to resist.
So simple and delicious! The condensed milk makes these wonderfully creamy.
Almost perfect! Love the texture, but a bit more butter would make them smoother.
