Hi, you guys.
It's Camilla Coelho
and today you're going to Bake Up With Me.
So the recipe I am bringing to you guys is a very,
very traditional Brazilian recipe.
As a Brazilian, it's one of my favorite things to eat.
It reminds me of my childhood.
Every kid's party you will find brigadeiro.
And I feel like every Brazilian knows how
to make a brigadeiro.
Brigadeiro are mini chocolate balls.
Okay.
And it's delicious.
If you love chocolate, you're definitely gonna love this.
So let's get to it.
Number one, you're going to need butter.
It can be unsalted butter.
If you have only salted butter, it's fine too.
cause there's going to be a lot of sweets in there.
You're going to need cocoa powder, chocolate powder.
You will need condensed milk.
You guys, this is such like a Latino thing.
We love to eat condensed milk with everything.
And the last ingredient you would need is
chocolate sprinkles.
Okay?
Yummy. And this is going to be like a finishing touch
for our brigadeiro.
And if you want to make it fancier
for you to serve to your friends or at a party,
we have these little like, we say forro de copinhos
in Portuguese.
So, they are basically like little cups for your brigadeiro.
The first thing you going to do low heat for it
to really cook on this heat for like about 10 minutes.
And that's when you're gonna get the right texture
for you to make the little balls.
So low heat and the first thing we're doing is a
spoon of butter.
Yeah. So this is, you know,
has a lot of calories in it, but don't think about it.
And then the next step is the condensed milk.
Oh my gosh.
Look at that texture.
Ooh, this is like dream.
And then you can already come in with your chocolate powder.
So we're using three spoons.
Okay.
If you want, your brigadeiro to be more
like dark chocolate, put one extra spoon.
But I like it more milk chocolate,
so three spoons.
Icaro loves sweets.
Most of the times I make sweets,
I eat them, but he just like, I eat probably 1/4
of it, he eats the rest.
He has such a sweet tooth.
I'm more of a salty person.
He is just obsessed with anything sweet and sugar.
So he's gonna love that I'm making this.
I guess I'm a better cook than him.
He makes great breakfast
but I'm the one who really
loves to cook in the house.
Although his Brazilian Pao de queijo is amazing.
Maybe we should come back
and teach you guys how to make that.
When it starts boiling on the sides,
it means it's almost done.
It's gonna be done,
you're gonna know that it's done when it starts coming
off the pan when you do this.
So it's almost there.
I don't know if you guys can see that.
Like you can see when you put it aside,
you can see the bottom of the pan.
So I think we're done here
cause you can clearly see
like the bottom of the pan when I do that.
All right.
So once you have the right texture, take a plate,
parchment paper, cause we're gonna let this cool down
for about 10 minutes.
Every time I make Brazilian food, I think like I want to
be in Brazil. I wanna be there with my horses.
I wanna go to the beaches there.
One of my favorite places to visit
in Brazil is Noronha, Fernando do Noronha which is one
of the most beautiful beaches you will find
in Brazil.
It's such an exotic little island.
If you ever go to Brazil, try getting there
and Trancoso as well which is in Bahia.
Love.
And my home state Minas Gerais,
where I ride all my horses
and eat the best food in the world.
So there's actually two ways you can eat the brigadeiro.
You can wait and create the little balls
and you know, serve the people later on
so you can put it in the fridge, serve it later
but it's something that you want to eat right away.
It's so yummy eating off of a spoon, right
when you make it like what I just did exactly.
And then like go to the sofa with your friend
or your husband or your partner and just eat it out
of a spoon while you're watching movies.
Most delicious feeling in the world.
And every person that I know that are not
from Brazil that have tried brigadeiro,
they love it.
So I'm hoping that you guys will too.
Just spread it on a plate like that.
If you need more, add more.
All right.
So I just took this out of the freezer, actually.
I just wanted it to cool down faster.
So if you want to do that,
leave it on the freezer for 10 minutes.
So grab a little bit of butter.
Oohh, this is kinda hydrating.
And then I'll use a spoon to help me out.
You're gonna create a little ball like that.
So next step, we make the ball.
Next step, we throw it here
and you roll it.
And there you have... brigadeiro.
And then you put it inside the brigadeiro house.
I want to teach you guys some Portuguese words.
Chocolate is the easiest.
I feel like chocolate is like a worldwide,
like it's the same in every country.
But we say cho-ko-la-ti, cho-ko-la-ti.
And butter, we say manteiga.
Repeat with me, manteiga.
There's like a bunch of Brazilian artists that I love.
I'm so into Anita, which we say, Ani-ta
but here in the U.S. you say Anita.
I'm so happy for her because she's becoming so huge.
And like her songs are hits all over the world.
So this recipe that I made, I kind of, the size of them
I went a little up so I made them a bit bigger
and we got 12 of them.
Okay.
So anything and everything that I did
you can just double it and make two recipes.
So my hands are kind of dirty now. I'm gonna wash them
and show you guys, like do a proper presentation
of my brigadeiro.
All right, you guys.
And here is how the brigadeiro is going to look.
Again, if you use the cups, I got gold
because they look so good with the brown
of the brigadeiro.
And it would be so cute for you to serve
to your friends when they come for dinner
as I said before.
And it's such a treat, such a yummy treat.
So of course, I'm going to have my bite right now.
Mmmm...
My God.
You guys, so yummy.
I hope you make this at home.
I hope that you love it as much as I do.
And let me know in the comments, if you're gonna try it.
If you did let us know if you loved it.
And thank so much for watching.
