Have you ever imagined indulging in a treat that combines the creamy texture of a classic Brazilian brigadeiro with the warm, spiced aroma of churros? Today, we’re sharing an incredible recipe that is sure to be the star of your next party: the Churros Brigadeiro. Get ready to learn how to make this delightful confection that will win over your heart—and your guests’—from the very first bite.
Ingredients:
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 carton (7 oz) table cream (or heavy cream)
- 1 tablespoon dulce de leche
- 1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Granulated sugar and ground cinnamon mixed together (for rolling)
How to Make Churros Brigadeiros:
- In a saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, table cream, dulce de leche, butter, and ground cinnamon. Mix well and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly.
- Cook until the mixture begins to pull away from the bottom of the pan and forms a thick, glossy fudge-like consistency.
- Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool completely.
- Once cooled, scoop out small portions (about 1/2 tablespoon or 15g each) and roll them into balls. Roll each ball in the sugar-cinnamon mixture to coat.
- Place each brigadeiro into a #5 mini cupcake liner.
- Decorate as desired and serve!
Pro Tip:
For the best texture and flavor, let the brigadeiro dough rest for at least 6 hours before rolling. This ensures they remain perfectly soft on the inside with that signature sweet, spiced coating on the outside.
Prep Time and Yield:
The cooking process is quick, but remember to factor in enough time for the mixture to cool and set to the ideal consistency. This recipe yields approximately 26 churros brigadeiros.
A Fun Fact:
The secret to this recipe is the addition of dulce de leche, which gives the brigadeiro a beautiful caramelized color and an irresistible flavor profile. This perfect blend of textures and spices will have your guests falling in love with these bite-sized treats instantly.
