By combining the iconic flavor of hazelnut spread with the creamy, fudgy texture of traditional Brazilian brigadeiro, this recipe is guaranteed to win you over. Get ready to indulge in pure bliss!
Ingredients for Nutella Brigadeiros:
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 carton (7 oz) table cream (or heavy cream)
- ½ tbsp unsalted butter (or Nutella)
- 5 oz high-quality milk or semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
- 3 tbsp Nutella (added later)
How to make Nutella Brigadeiros:
- In a saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, table cream, and butter (or Nutella).
- Mix well and cook over medium heat.
- Cook, stirring constantly, until it reaches the rolling consistency—the mixture should be firm and pull away easily from the bottom of the pan.
- Remove from heat and stir in the chopped chocolate and the Nutella.
- Stir vigorously until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.
- Pour the mixture onto a plate and cover with plastic wrap. Let it cool completely.
- Once cool, shape into balls and roll in chocolate sprinkles if desired.
- Enjoy!
Pro Tip:
For a firmer consistency, I recommend letting the brigadeiro mixture rest in the refrigerator for a few hours before shaping. This makes it much easier to roll into perfect little balls.
