ingredients

Topping

  • 1/4 cup crushed hazelnuts

Method

  • Step 1

    Combine the condensed milk and heavy cream in a heavy-bottomed skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Cook the mixture until heated through. Stir in the cocoa powder and butter.

  • Step 2

    Cook until thickened, about 15 to 20 minutes. Stir and scrape the bottom of the pan constantly to prevent the mixture from burning and sticking.

  • Step 3

    Your mixture is ready when it holds its form and you can see the bottom of the pan for 2 to 3 seconds when you drag your spatula through.

  • Step 4

    Turn the mixture out on a lightly greased plate, cover with plastic wrap and let it cool at room temperature for at least 1 hour.

  • Step 5

    Portion out 1 tablespoon of the mixture and flatten it out into a 3-inch disc (grease your hands lightly to prevent it from sticking).

  • Step 6

    Place ½ teaspoon of Nutella® in the center. Fold the Brigadeiro in half and seal the edges.

  • Step 7

    Shape the Brigadeiro into a ball and roll the ball into the crushed hazelnuts.

  • Step 8

    Serve the Brigadeiors immediately or store them in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
