Steps
Read instructions and get ready to cook
Prepare the pan
Lightly grease a 6-inch round cake pan or a similar-sized dish with butter. Set aside.
Combine ingredients
In a medium saucepan, combine sweetened condensed milk, unsweetened cocoa powder, unsalted butter, and salt.
Cook the mixture
Place the saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula.
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.
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.
Transfer to pan
Immediately pour the hot mixture into the prepared pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Cool the brigadeiro
Allow the giant brigadeiro to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until firm.
Prepare sprinkles
Pour chocolate sprinkles onto a large plate or shallow dish.
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.
Coat with sprinkles
Gently roll the giant brigadeiro in the chocolate sprinkles, pressing lightly to ensure they stick.
Serve
Place the giant brigadeiro on a serving plate. Slice and serve like a cake, or let guests scoop out portions with a spoon.
