Make truffle chocolate with this easy brigadeiro recipe. This quick no-bake Brazilian dessert will be a great guest pleaser for any party. Children will also love to make these during holidays such as Thanksgiving and Christmas.

It’s easy to make 3-ingredient brigadeiro truffles. You can decorate truffles with green tea powder, grated coconut, chopped walnuts, chopped pistachio, strawberry chocolate, etc. My favorite is pistachio. Brigadeiro is creamy like chocolate ganache.

Ingredients

• 12 oz sweetened condensed milk (340g)
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• Extra butter for your palms
• Extra sifted unsweetened cocoa to coat truffle chocolate

Decoration options:

• Coconut, grated
• Green tea powder
• Chopped nuts such as walnuts, peanuts, pistachio, etc
• Chopped chocolate with various flavorings

Instructions

1. 1. First, sift 3 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder.
2. 2. Then add 12 oz of sweetened condensed milk in a thick-bottom sauce pan. Add in the sifted cocoa powder.
3. 3. And over medium heat stir with a wooden stick until combined. Now add in 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter and stir continuously until butter is melt. When it boils, stir rigorously until the mixture thickens like this.
