Today, we are sharing an irresistible recipe that will win over your palate: Milk Powder Brigadeiro (spoonable style). This dessert is perfect for satisfying those sweet cravings, and best of all, you only need three ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry.
Ingredients for Milk Powder Brigadeiro:
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 4 tablespoons dry milk powder (like Nido or any other whole milk powder)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
How to Make Milk Powder Brigadeiro:
- In a saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, milk powder, and butter.
- Whisk the ingredients well before turning on the heat to ensure a smooth, lump-free mixture.
- Turn the heat to low and continue stirring constantly to prevent the brigadeiro from burning or forming lumps.
- Cook until the mixture begins to pull away from the bottom of the pan. Keep in mind that as it cools, it will firm up; adjust the consistency to your preference. If you prefer to roll them into balls, cook a little longer to achieve a thicker consistency.
- Once it reaches your desired consistency, remove from heat.
- Let it cool slightly. If desired, you can roll them into balls and coat them in more milk powder or sugar for an extra touch.
- Place in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to firm up further before serving.
Pro Tip:
This Milk Powder Brigadeiro is excellent as a cake filling or simply enjoyed straight from the spoon. For a firmer version, simply cook the mixture a bit longer until it reaches a thicker texture.
