BRIGADEIRO (BRAZILIAN DOCINHO)

Steps:

• In a heavy saucepan mix chocolate with condensed milk and add the margarine. Cook in low heat stirring constantly until you can see the bottom of the pan. Continue to stir for another two minutes. Pour onto a plate and let cool completely before you form the little balls (I usually leave it in the cupboard until next day). Butter your hands slightly to form the little balls. Roll the balls in chocolate powder or jimmies and put them in small paper cups.
• A little cultural note: Have you noticed how many Brazilian recipes are made with condensed milk? It came to Brazil from Switzerland over a hundred years ago. It's made by Nestlé and because the label featured the picture of a milkmaid, the cans became known as the "maid milk' and that's what condensed milk is called to this day (Leite Moça).

BRAZILIAN BRIGADEIRO (MICROWAVE)

Steps:

• put all the ingredients, but the chocolate sprinkles, in a microwavable bowl
• Microwave it for 3 minutes in high potency.
• Mix it
• Microwave it again for 3 minutes more still in high potency.
• Mix it well until the cream gets some shine and all the bumps disappear.
• Put in the fridge to cool off.
• With 2 spoons make balls and roll it on the granulated chocolate (It is also good if you don't want to roll it, just sprinkle some sugar on top and eat it with a spoon)
• Enjoy it!

BRAZILIAN BRIGADEIRO...FOR CHOCOHOLICS

Steps:

• Empty condensed milk into pan; stir in chocolate powder and cook on stove, stirring constantly.
• Once it comes to a boil, reduce heat and allow to simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from heat; cool (it thickens slightly on cooling) use as required.
• Tip -- The longer you leave it to boil, the thicker it gets. Therefore, using it as icing inside a cake it would need to be a littler thicker than normal. Using it just to eat as a chocolate fix (which most Brazilians do) won't need as much time boiling. This recipe will spice up any old boring cake.
• You can also prepare this in the microwave. Place all ingredients into microwave safe bowl and heat, stirring at intervals until you get the desired thickness. Be careful, this tends to rise up the sides of the bowl. To avoid spillage use a large bowl.

BRIGADEIRO

Steps:

• For chocolate flavour: Put condensed milk, butter and cocoa in a saucepan and cook on medium heat, stirring continually until mixture is thick and sticks to the spoon.
• Grease a plate well and put the mixture on it. Refrigerate for 30 minute.
• Take the plate out and butter your hands well. Taking a teaspoonful at a time with your hands, roll into a small ball and then roll in chocolate sprinkles.
• For coconut flavour: Put condensed milk, coconut, vanilla essence and butter in saucepan. Proceed the same as chocolate flavour, only roll in dessicated coconut when done.
