Salted Caramel Brigadeiros (Truffles)
Salted caramel brigadeiros are very similar to truffles and are super indulgent. Silky soft inside with a crunchy chocolate sprinkle coating, they make lovely gifts for friends at Christmas.
Ingredients
- 397 g condensed milk
- 3 tbsp cocoa powder
- 30 g salted butter
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 100 g sprinkles you can use any type!
Instructions
- Pour the condensed milk into a small pan, a long with the sieved cocoa powder and salt. Cook it on low, stirring continuously, until the mix is thick and shiny. It shouldn't be sticking to the pan.
- Once thickened, remove from the heat and add the butter. Stir it in so it melts in the hot mixture. Add the vanilla extract and mix in.
- Pour the mix into a small dish, cover and chill in the fridge until it sets.
- Using a teaspoon, scoop out the mixture and roll into equal balls in your hand. Dip into the sprinkles and roll them around to coat. I used a spoon to do this. Eat straight away or chill until ready to eat.
Notes
Storage - Store in the fridge when chilling the mix, before shaping and post-shaping. They will keep for a week.
Freezing - You can freeze Brigadeiro mix for up to 3 months. I would suggest pre-shaping so you don't ruin the shape. You can always shape them once defrosted.
