Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. In a medium oven-safe dish, combine 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and 2 tbsp unsalted butter, stirring thoroughly until smooth.
  2. Step 2: Bake the mixture uncovered for 25 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to prevent burning, until the mixture thickens and pulls away from the sides of the dish.
  3. Step 3: Remove from oven and let cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for 1 hour to firm up.
  4. Step 4: Butter your hands lightly and scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the brigadeiro mixture, rolling each into a smooth ball.
  5. Step 5: Roll each ball in 1 cup chocolate sprinkles to coat completely. Place on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate again for 30 minutes before serving.
