Quick and Easy Brigadeiros

Step by step

1. 1

   In a skillet, add the condensed milk, the butter and the cocoa powder. Cook over high heat, stirring constantly. When it boils, lower the heat to minimum and continue cooking until it reaches a good consistency.

   
2. 2

   Remove from the heat and transfer to a bowl.

   
3. 3

   Cover with plastic wrap pressed against the surface and let it rest at room temperature for an hour, then refrigerate for 8 more hours.

   
4. 4

   Take it out of the refrigerator, roll the mixture into little balls and place them on a plate.

   
5. 5

   Decorate by coating them with whatever you like best and keep in the refrigerator until ready to eat. I recommend taking them out 2 hours before eating so they're softer.
