Check out this practical and irresistible recipe!
Ingredients for Microwave Brigadeiro de Colher:
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (50% cocoa is ideal for a rich flavor; you can substitute with chocolate milk mix if preferred)
How to make Microwave Brigadeiro:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, add the sweetened condensed milk.
- Add the two tablespoons of cocoa powder.
- Whisk or stir the ingredients well until you have a smooth, homogeneous mixture.
- Microwave on high power for about 2 to 4 minutes. It is crucial to stop the microwave every 30 seconds to stir the mixture, which prevents it from boiling over.
- Continue the process until you reach your desired consistency. For a softer “spoonable” texture, microwave for less time. For a firmer, thicker texture, add a few more seconds.
- Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave, as it will be very hot.
- Transfer the brigadeiro to individual serving cups or a small bowl.
- Let it cool slightly before digging in.
- Optional: Top with chocolate sprinkles or shaved chocolate before serving.
- Enjoy!
Pro Tip:
For an extra special touch, try adding a pinch of sea salt or a few drops of pure vanilla extract during the mixing stage. These small additions enhance the chocolate flavor and will surely surprise your guests.
