Description
Indulge in the rich flavors of Irresistibly Creamy Crème Brûlée Brigadeiros, a decadent twist on the traditional Brazilian treat that’s perfect for any dessert lover.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk 14 oz
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter for greasing hands and cooking
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar for coating
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar for caramelizing
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, and butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Once cool, mix in heavy cream and vanilla extract until combined.
- Grease your hands with butter and roll the mixture into small balls, then coat them in granulated sugar.
- To caramelize, spread the remaining granulated sugar in an even layer on a baking sheet. Use a kitchen torch to melt and caramelize the sugar until golden brown, then dip each brigadeiro into the melted sugar to create a crispy topping.
Notes
For best results, ensure the brigadeiros are fully cooled before coating them in sugar. A kitchen torch is recommended for even caramelization.
