hello and welcome back to in the kitchen with Matt I am your host Matt Taylor
today I'm going to show you how to make a Brazilian treat called a brigadeiro I
think that's how you pronounce it I probably said it wrong but that's okay
big Adaro they're a classic chocolate
treat from Brazil and they're very
popular around birthdays birthday times
and whatnot I have a friend in Brazil
who requested that I do some more
Brazilian themed treats so here we go
that's what we're gonna do really simple
using very very few ingredients if I can
do it you can do it let's get started
here we are at the stovetop I have a
nonstick pot that I'm using this is my
Dutch oven and I have the heat set to
medium-low and what I'm gonna do is I'm
gonna take my butter this is two
tablespoons of butter just go ahead and
put that in there and we're gonna melt
this down and this is unsalted butter
all right and then once our butter is
melted what we are going to do is we're
going to open up our can of sweetened
condensed milk this is a 14 ounce can 14
ounce can about 400 grams or 396 grams
in total let's go ahead and pour that in
there and then use a spatula it helps to
have a small spatula I love this little
silicone spatula I'm just coming here
let's get it all out all right and now
we're gonna let the stirring commence
and once you start this process you
can't really walk away from it you're
going to have to keep stirring this
whole thing for about 15 to 25 minutes
it'll just depend and we'll go through
that consistency of what it needs to
look like
because we don't want it to burn and now
we're gonna take our so just do this for
a few seconds here now we're going to
take our cocoa powder now this is what I
did is I took my cocoa powder and I ran
it through my sifter or you could use a
sieve because I wanted to break up all
the clumps and make sure I had a nice
powder also instead of cocoa powder what
you can use is like the Nesquik
chocolate milk powder you can use that
but you'll probably use a little bit
more of it I'm using a third of a cup
here and different recipes will call for
a different amount of cocoa powder so
you can just I would encourage you to
make it first like this and then you
could add more or less this next time
that you make it well it's just going to
keep stirring and we're going to stir
all that cocoa powder in the reason why
I like using my silicone spatula here is
because I can scrape around the sides as
I stir you can use a wooden wooden spoon
it just won't work as nice I don't think
but it's pretty common to use a wooden
spoon as well and then scrape around the
corners too as you go so you're gonna be
stirring so much by the time you're done
stirring you will have burnt all the
calories that you'll be consuming when
you eat these probably not but still
you're gonna stir a whole lot so again
you're going to stir it for about
fifteen to twenty-five minutes who knows
it might take a little bit longer it
just depends on where you live your
humidity how cold it is things like that
starting to get thicker just keep on
going
alright here we're getting getting
pretty close so now if I go like this
see how it takes a little while for it
to come back together almost there we
want it just to be a little bit thicker
I think this alright so this is about
there so when I go like this notice it
takes a really really long time to come
back together
I'm just gonna do it for about a minute
more and we'll be good to go
okay that's good perfect so let's take
it off the heat and then on a plate
let's go ahead it helps if you have a
couple people do this it's kind of hard
with just me but it's okay
scrape this off put it on a plate if
you're young and trying to do this make
sure to get some help when you're doing
when you do that part okay all right and
then just spread it out a bit on the
bottom here this plate alright and then
we're gonna put this plate in the
refrigerator for 30 minutes and we'll go
on to the next step alright and then
once we take it out of the fridge it is
set what we want to do is we want to
take some butter just a tiny bit of
butter and you want to put it in your
palms like that because we're gonna be
rolling this in our palms and just come
up here with your spoon and take a
little scoop out about that size I just
go ahead and roll it into a ball then I
come in here to your chocolate sprinkles
or coconut or whatever kind of sprinkles
you want to do and go ahead and transfer
it over to to a little paper cup alright
do another one
roll it into a ball drop it in your
sprinkles I think the chocolate
sprinkles are the the classic way to
make them and then you'll just add more
butter to your hands as needed make sure
that your hands are clean before doing
this all right and then do that with the
rest of them all right they're pretty
much done let's go ahead and put these
back in the fridge for about 15 to 20
minutes so they will firm back up all
right they have chilled sufficiently I'm
just gonna go ahead and take a bite I
don't want to show you what it looks
like nice and gooey oh yeah so yummy all
right that is how you make the
brigadeiro chocolate Brazilian treat
very very very easy to do if I can do it
