Little fudge balls rolled in chocolate! These are the Brazilian equivalent of cookies or brownies. I stole this recipe from http://www.chefleticia.com/ - The Brazilian Kitchen.

Time 4h30m

Yield 40 balls, 40 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 (14 ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons heavy cream
2 teaspoons light corn syrup
3 ounces milk chocolate chips
2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup crushed nuts or 1 cup sweetened flaked coconut

Steps:

  • Combine milk, butter, heavy cream, and corn syrup in medium sauce pan and bring to gentle boil over medium heat.
  • As soon as mixture begins to bubble, add chocolate and coca powder, whisking vigorously.
  • Reduce heat to low, cook for 8-10 minutes until a dense, fudgy batter, whisking continuously. It will begin to pull away from the sides of the pan and develop little bubble holes.
  • Slide out mixture into a bowl and let cool to room temperature; then cover bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  • Scoop mixture by the teaspoonful, shape into balls and roll in your choice of sprinkles, nuts or coconut. (optional! place in small cupcake holders for more sophisticated look)
  • Store in airtight plastic container for up to 2 days at room temperature, or up to one month in the refrigerator.
