Super Simple!

Serving about 20 brigadeiros (small balls)

Ingredientes

  • 1 can of condensed milk (Nestlé)
  • 1/2 tablespoon butter
  • 60g chopped Brazil Nuts
  • 1 small pot of Nutella
  • Refined sugar

Preparo

  • Chop the Brazil Nuts into very small pieces and set aside, if you prefer use a mixer.
  • In a heavy-bottomed pan, combine the condensed milk with the butter and bring to the fire until it loosens from the bottom of the pan.
  • Turn off the heat and mix the nuts.
  • Transfer the mixture to a glass tray and let it cool down.
  • With the hands moistened in water, roll the mixture into small balls and pass them through the refined sugar;
  • Place the Nutella into the Icing bag and  decorate the small balls (brigadeiros) with Nutella;
  • If you do not have the Icing bag, use a thick plastic bag and cut one edge.
  • Put in the shape of your choice and serve!
  • Super tip: Do not leave the spoon inside the mixture while it cools down, this makes it sugary,  valid for all brigadeiros.

No need to do everything at once: Lasts up to 4 days before you roll them into “brigadeiros”!
