Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Prepare the pan

Lightly grease a 6-inch round cake pan or a similar-sized dish with butter. Set aside.

2
Combine ingredients

In a medium saucepan, combine sweetened condensed milk, unsweetened cocoa powder, unsalted butter, and salt.

3
Cook the mixture

Place the saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula.

4
Continue cooking

Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring continuously, until the mixture thickens and starts to pull away from the bottom of the pan when you scrape it.

5
Test consistency

To test if it's ready, draw a line through the mixture with your spoon. If the line holds its shape for a few seconds before disappearing, it's done.

6
Transfer to pan

Immediately pour the hot mixture into the prepared pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.

7
Cool the brigadeiro

Allow the giant brigadeiro to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until firm.

8
Prepare sprinkles

Pour chocolate sprinkles onto a large plate or shallow dish.

9
Shape the brigadeiro

Once chilled, use your hands to shape the brigadeiro into a large ball. If it's too sticky, you can lightly grease your hands with butter.

10
Coat with sprinkles

Gently roll the giant brigadeiro in the chocolate sprinkles, pressing lightly to ensure they stick.

11
Serve

Place the giant brigadeiro on a serving plate. Slice and serve like a cake, or let guests scoop out portions with a spoon.
