Brazilian Chocolate Strawberry Brigadeiro
Ingredients
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder 50%
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- Edible glitter (optional)
Preparation
In a saucepan, combine sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, cocoa powder, and butter
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and pulls away from the sides of the pan
In a separate pan, combine sugar, water, and white vinegar
Heat the sugar mixture to hard crack stage, around 300Β°F (150Β°C), without stirring to avoid crystallization
Prepare strawberries by washing and drying them thoroughly
Shape the thickened brigadeiro mixture into balls or desired forms and incorporate strawberries inside or coat with the crunchy sauce
Dip or roll the brigadeiro in the hardened sugar syrup mixture for a crunchy exterior
Allow to cool and set before serving, optionally adding edible glitter for decoration
