Directions
- 1
Combine the condensed milk, milk powder, and butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan, stirring to blend before turning on the heat.
- 2
Cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a spatula, until the mixture thickens and pulls cleanly away from the bottom and sides of the pan, about 10–15 minutes.
- 3
Pour the mixture onto a lightly buttered plate and let cool completely at room temperature.
- 4
Lightly butter your hands. Scoop a small portion of the cooled mixture, flatten it in your palm, and place a small dollop of hazelnut spread in the center.
- 5
Fold the edges over the filling and roll into a smooth, round ball, then coat it evenly by rolling in milk powder.
- 6
Place each brigadeiro in a small paper cup and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
💡 Chef's Tip
Chill the cooled mixture in the fridge for 20 minutes before rolling — it will be much less sticky and easier to shape. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
