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. -
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.

Fudgy, sweet, and authentically Brazilian.
I like how well-written and informative your content is. You have actually given us, your readers, brilliant information and not just filled up your blog with flowery texts like many blogs today do. If you visit my website about Airport Transfer, I’m sure you can also find something for yourself.
Perfectly indulgent and easy to make! Loved the fudgy texture.
Almost perfect! Love the texture, but a bit more butter would make them smoother.
So simple and delicious! The condensed milk makes these wonderfully creamy.
Perfectly rich and fudgy! These brigadiers are a sweet treat that’s hard to resist.
Simple and good, but a bit sweet. Reduce condensed milk if you prefer less sweetness.
Easy & yummy! A touch dry, maybe add more milk?
Incredibly simple and delicious. A huge hit at parties!
