    Brigadeiro Recipe -- The Best Chocolate Fudge Balls Ever

    Gluten Free

    Jump to Recipe ↓

    Brigadeiro (plural Brigadeiros) is a chocolate fudge made with condensed milk, butter, and cocoa powder. It’s LOVE at first bite!

    WHAT IS BRIGADEIRO?

    Brigadeiro (Portuguese for Brigadier) is the most beloved ‘candy’ of Brazil. From north to south, it is a national passion!

    It came into being in the 1940s and gets its name from Brigadier Eduardo Gomes, who once ran for president.

    According to this brigadeiros article, it’s also know as ‘negrinho’. Some compare it to truffles or tootsie rolls, but it is different from both.

    It’s usually rolled into balls which are then covered in chocolate sprinkles. However, you can also enjoy it unrolled with a spoon. 

    Plus, use it as a topping or filling for cakes and cupcakes. In Brazil, no kid’s party is complete without it!

    So satisfy your sweet tooth with these rich chocolate candy cups. 

    HOW TO MAKE BRIGADEIRO

    collage with 3 images showing how to make brigadeiro

    For this traditional brigadeiro recipe, whisk the condensed milk and cocoa together until uniform. Then, stir in the butter.

    (SEE FULL RECIPE BELOW – FOR BOTH STOVETOP AND MICROWAVE)

    WHAT OTHER TREATS CAN YOU MAKE WITH BRIGADEIRO?

    You can make cake, cupcakes,  brigadeiro cookies, and this triple brigadeiro cheesecake tart. 

    Also, patriotic brigadeiros or those with other flavors such as pumpkin, strawberry, coconut, and beer.

    If the cooked mixture is too soft to roll into fudge balls, the alternative is to serve brigadeiro piped onto spoons.

    Moreover, you can serve it as fudge cups, to eat with small spoons, almost like a shot of dense pudding.

    USEFUL TIPS TO GET BRIGADEIRO RIGHT THE FIRST TIME

    1. Use a wider, no stick pan — those with aluminum bottoms work best. This will let it cook faster, saving you time. Take a look at the RECIPE VIDEO!

    2. Cook over medium heat, avoiding burnt bits.

    3. Whisk condensed milk with cocoa powder before starting to cook-- for a mixture without lumps.

    4. If making brigadeiro recipe in the summer time, use only 1 tablespoon of butter; otherwise it’ll make harder to achieve the correct consistency. In the cold months, though, you can use 2 tablespoon of butter and still roll it into balls with no problem. They will be tastier too!

    5. If making a double batch at once, use a large, wider pan rather than a pot; otherwise it will take much longer to get it right.

    HOW DO YOU STORE AND FOR HOW LONG?

    Store brigadeiro in an airtight container at room temp for up to 2 days. Either store covered in the fridge for up to 4-7 days, or freeze in plastic bags for up to 30 days.

    If frozen, bring them to room temp before serving them.

    Brigadeiro -- Brazilian chocolate fudge balls

    Brigadeiro (or Brigadeiros) is a chocolate fudge made with condensed milk, butter, and cocoa powder. Our brigadeiro recipe is love at first bite! It comes with a video and step by step photos.

    Author Denise Browning
    Cost $ 0.10 per person

    Ingredients

    • 14 oz sweetened condensed milk or 1 can (396 grams)
    • 2 tablespoon baking cocoa powder unsweetened ( you may use ¼ cup instead for a richer treat)
    • ½ tablespoon unsalted butter (softened) plus extra to grease plate and hands
    • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract OPTIONAL
    • Chocolate vermicelli or good quality chocolate sprinkles

    Instructions

    • Whisk the condensed milk and cocoa powder together until homogeneous (no lumps). Then, stir in the butter.
    • Stovetop: Cook in a medium non-stick saucepan over medium heat (large burner), stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and starts to peel away/show the bottom of the pan when you scrape it with your wood spoon (about 5-8 minutes). 
    • Microwave: Pour mixture into a deep microwaveable bowl. If 900 watts, let cook on full power for about 6 minutes -- removing and stirring at least every 2 minutes, or until thick enough to be rolled (when it cools down, mixture will be thicker). 
    • While it is cooking, do not leave the microwave unattended because mixture will rise and possibly bubble over, making a mess. Every time it rises, pause until mixture settles back down. If 1100 watts, cook at 80 % power. Double batches take more time to cook
    • When brigadeiro is ready, remove either from the stove top or microwave, mix in the vanilla extract and spread mixture onto a greased plate.

    • Let cool to room temp before starting to roll them into balls with greased hands. Use a ½ ( or 1 ) tablespoon as measurement. 
    • Then, dredge gently in the chocolate sprinkles until totally covered, and place into paper bonbon cups.

    Recipe Notes

    • Store brigadeiro/brigadeiros (Brazilian chocolate fudge balls) in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. They can be also stored, covered well, in the refrigerator for up to 4-7 days, or frozen in ziploc bags for up to 30 days. 
    • If making brigadeiro recipe in the summer time, use only 1 tablespoon of butter; otherwise it’ll make harder to achieve the correct consistency. In the cold months, though, you can use 2 tablespoon of butter and still roll it into balls with no problem. They will be tastier too!
    • ALTERNATIVE: If you don't get the right consistency and the cooked mixture is so soft that cannot be rolled into balls, the alternative is to serve brigadeiros piped on spoons or into shot glasses/cups to be eaten with small spoons almost like a shot of pudding-- like we do in Brazil.

      Ah, Denise! Reading your article about Brigadeiros made my mouth water and my mind travel in time as I remembered many birthdays parties and lots and lots of "docinhos" and especially Brigadeiros. You are so correct: it is not a birthday party if you do not have a lots of Brigadeiros present, ready make every mouth happy! Thank you for the thoughts.

        Hi, Denise! I am so sorry. The brigadeiro " dough" is ready (fully cooked) when it has thickened enough to see the bottom of the pan while pulled aside with a wood spoon and also is running slow. When it cools down it will be even thicker.
        But since yours is already soft, what you can do is using this trick: Let it cool down into a greased plate at room temperature and then, place in the refrigerator for 30 to 60 minutes. Then, grease your hands with unsalted butter, and try to shape into small balls, roll with sprinkles, and place into bonbon cups. You can serve them slightly chilled. In Brazil, we also serve brigadeiro in cups. I mean, we make soft brigadeiro and pour into mini to small cups/glasses, decorate with sprinkles on the top, and serve with spoons. We call "brigadeiro de copo" (brigadeiro in cups).
        So do not worry! In general, it takes about 2 to 3 times to get brigadeiro ' dough" right. I hope this helps!

          Perfect - I do not have chocolate vermicellis. Will use hot chocolate powder, instant type. Or ground toasted nuts. But now I see the cups with a spoon, perfect. If they do not firm up, will be shamlessly perfect candy anyway. Love the flavor, very mild and creamy.

            I am so glad you enjoy these brigadeiros, Essa! Absolutely!!! If you don't have vermicelli, you can use chopped nuts, chopped candy cane, shredded coconut, another type of sprinkles, etc instead. If necessary, you can refrigerate the "dough" before rolling them. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a fabulous New Year!

          Amy, the problem is not the amount of butter in my recipe but rather getting the right consistency for the brigadeiros. If the amount of butter was a problem, why have mine always come out right (not soft)? I always use this same recipe and roll them without any problem. Please, watch my video and you can see several of the factors that can affect the doneness for brigadeiros.

      Hi, Denise! I love your recipes because they remind me of Brasil!

      I have a question. When I lived there, a special treat was bolo de brigadeiro (I think!). It was a delicious chocolate cake with brigadeiro frosting. Do you know what I'm remembering? I hope you can tell me what it was and how to make it. Abracos!

        Hi, Margie! Thanks a lot. Yes!!! The brigadeiro cake is a simple two to three-layer chocolate cake with both brigadeiro filling and topping. Although I haven't published a brigadeiro cake recipe on my blog, I have a recipe for brigadeiro cupcakes. Make a simple chocolate cake and use the homemade brigadeiro frosting that is in the post (link) below to fill and top your cake. Then, sprinkle chocolate sprinkles or vermicelli on top. If you will be making the cake using a cake mix, please double the amount of eggs stated in the box so your cake can be heavy enough to support the weight of the brigadeiro frosting without collapsing. I would also add more sugar (1/2 to 3/4 cup) to make it more similar to the traditional Brazilian cake. Of course, for a cake, you will have to double or triple the frosting recipe depending on the the amount of layers and size of the cake. Here is the link:

        Ava:
        My fave way to make brigadeiro is on the stove top because one can have better control of its cooking point. Follow the recipe and let it cool before rolling into balls. If necessary, refrigerate the "dough" for about 20 minutes before rolling into balls. Always grease your hands with unsalted butter before rolling. It helps a lot! You can use this same recipe to make brigadeiro served into mini cups or brigadeiro frosting to fill and top cakes and cupcakes.For this, you only have to add a bit of heavy cream after the brigadeiro dough has cooked to make it much softer. Enjoy!

      My mom and I used to make these together when I was a kid. I helped roll them, but we used granulated sugar. After decades, I had forgotten how to make them. Thanks so much for the recipe. It all came back to me just reading the ingredients.
      I was also looking for a sweet potato candy recipe - docs de batata. Do you have one? I'll continue to look on your site. Is another candy mom and I used to make together. So you can see why I absolutely need it 🙂

        Hi, Sandra! Thanks for stopping by and welcome to FBTY...
        I am glad that you found this brigadeiro recipe. I hope you make these and enjoy... This is the traditional recipe! Chocolate sprinkle are usually used to roll brigadeiros although colorful sprinkles, granulated sugar, and others can also be used to top them. It's really up to one' s taste.
        Unfortunately, I don't have any recipe for sweet potato candy (docinho de batata). What I do have is a pumpkin candy recipe or pumpkin brigadeiro which you can use it to make the sweet potato candy. You only have to use peeled, boiled, and mashed sweet potatoes instead of mashed or canned pumpkin. It is an easy substitution. Here is the link:

            But by doubling the recipe, it will take a little longer to be cooked (NOT the double of the original time). Follow the recipe guidelines and everything will be fine. I hope your co-workers enjoy these brigadeiros. Have a great week!

      Hello! I saw a video of Facebook about making these. I thought I remembered it right, and tried it today. But I remembered that it said to use half a stick of butter, and no vanilla. Then I rolled them in more cocoa, sort of truffle-style even though I saw in the video to use white sugar. They are a little soft, but I think it's the way they should be?

      THEN I experimented with another batch, and used flavored hot chocolate instead of cocoa. They are super-soft, and after I rolled them they turned into disks instead of balls! LOL Do you know if the rest of the ingredients in the hot chocolate messed it up, or maybe I just didn't cook that batch long enough? I want to play with other hot chocolate flavors, but don't want to keep making disks...

        Hi, Peggy!
        About 13 years ago when I got married and came to live in the US, I tried to make mine with hot cocoa mix. It was a disaster!!! Honestly, the texture was not the same as the brigadeiros from my home country. Hot cocoa mix simply does not work for brigadeiros because contains a lot of sugar changing their fudgy texture. You have to use cocoa powder which is made from ground chocolate solids. Too much butter also makes them too soft and flat. Follow my recipe, which it is the traditional recipe for brigadeiros, and will get them right. The vanilla extract is optional. I added it to the traditional recipe because it makes them more delicious without changing the texture. Brigadeiros are traditionally rolled in chocolate sprinkles but a few folks roll them in white granulated sugar when they don't have chocolate sprinkles in their pantry. If you would like to play with flavors, you can use my recipe omitting the cocoa powder and vanilla, and adding flavoring extracts instead. This way you will have white brigadeiros with different flavors (e.g. almond flavor b/c almond extract). Another good way to play with flavors is flavored gelatins. In Brazil, there is a strawberry brigadeiro recipe. Instead of using cocoa powder, we use strawberry gelatin to give both color and flavor to the strawberry brigadeiros (in this case, if the recipe asks for 2-3 Tbsp of cocoa powder, you use 2-3 Tbsp strawberry gelatin instead). Let me know if you have any other questions. Have a great week!

        Hi, Kent!
        I am so glad that you stopped by. I am also from Northeastern Brazil.
        Brigadeiro is the most popular and beloved "candy" in/from Brazil, present at every single birthday party and other celebrations... It is also one of the fave snacks down there. At my household, we love it so much that we don't wait to have brigadeiros rolled into balls. We eat brigadeiro by spoonfuls. 🙂
        Since you learned how to make brigadeiros (and they can be very addictive as you already know), I wish you good luck. 🙂
        Have a great week -- and exercise routine! 🙂

      Hi love the recipe but I keep getting bits in my brigadeiro, like some of the cocoa powder is clumping togeter into small bits. Any idea as to how to remedy this?

        Hi, Jordan!
        I see. No worries! It's pretty easy to solve this issue. What you have to do is to whisk well the sweetened condensed milk with the cocoa powder until obtaining a homogeneous mixture before cooking. It helps if you add the cocoa powder little by little while whisking. Then, add the butter and cook the mixture according to the instructions. Enjoy!

          Thank you so much for responding Denise!! I will give it a try! They were still loved and with the sprinkles no one noticed the bits, but I sure am glad to have a solution!! These are so tasty and my husband loves that they are not as overly sweet and you would think they would be!

      I just made these using your microwave version! The "dough" tended to rise up every 30 seconds, so what I did when that happened was take it out and stir before putting it back in. After it was done I melted 3 slivers of butter on a big plate, then poured a tiny bit of vanilla extract on that and spread the melted butter and vanilla around the whole plate with the round side of a spoon. After I rolled the truffles I dropped them in cocoa instead of sprinkles! They're currently setting in the fridge, but they look and smell HEAVENLY!

        You won't regret it, Gabrielle! But please, follow the recipe instructions. If you have a medium, non stick skillet, please use it to cook these brigadeiros because the "dough" cooks faster in wider pans.Please, also make sure the "dough" has thicken and runs slow. The cooking time varies from one stovetop to the other. Enjoy!!!

          Hi Denise!
          I tried rolling it in a ball after i had put it in the fridge for 3 hours but it was so hard to roll it.
          I now have put it in the fridge for a day.
          Will that work?

            Hi, Gabrielle. I have just seen your comment.
            If after all this time in the fridge you could not roll brigadeiros into balls, it's because you did not cook the mixture enough to get the right consistency. This is a critical step for brigadeiros. When this happens, the alternative is to serve brigadeiros pipped on spoons or into shot glasses/cups to be eaten with small spoons-- like we do in Brazil. Later today or tomorrow, I will be uploading a cooking video that I recorded about brigadeiros and you will have a better idea about the right consistency -- better than the recipe direction pictures that you see here. I give all the tips how to get the right consistency every time and also how to achieve it quicker -- so next time you make brigadeiros you will be able to roll them easily.
            Know that not getting the right consistency at first is not uncommon. Thank you for trying!

      Brigadeiros are a little piece of heaven on earth!!! We make them at least once a month!!! Sometimes I substitute the sprinkles for dark cocoa powder. My daugther doesn't even make the balls... she just eats it as soon as it cools!

        For us too, Soraya! When I don't find good quality sprinkles, I like to roll them out in granulated sugar. Cocoa powder is also a great choice! My eldest daughter and I love to eat them by spoonfuls as soon as they cool down. 🙂

      Hi,
      Thank you so much for the recipe. I made them tonight I'm not sure I got the right consistency. Are they suppose to be soft and creamy like a truffle or a little chewy? Mine are a little chewy.
      Regardless, they taste great!

      • Denise Browning says

        March 29, 2017 at 7:50 am

        Hi, Jeannie!
        They have more a consistency of a truffle yet fudgy. If yours were a bit chewy it is because the "dough" was overcooked. The secret is to have it cooked on medium to medium low heat, stirring constantly. As soon as you see the mixture was thickened and the bottom of the pan shows up for a couple of seconds before levels out, it is ready. Please, take a look at our video that it is above the recipe. Thank you for trying though! I am so happy that you enjoyed them despite of their chewy consistency. You will see! You will get right on the second time. Brigadeiros are a simple recipe although getting the consistency right can be a little tricky. It takes a bit of practice. Have a wonderful week!

      Since consistency seems to be the

      in water? Perhap it is:, "soft ball" when you are able to pick mixture up..

        Hi, Donna! I have never tested the consistency that way but it does not hurt to try. If you follow all the tips from my cooking video, you are able to make this right at first. If you take a look at my You Tube channel, there is one comment from a lady that made a 300-batch of these (actually, according to her 2 children made the batch right at the very first time just by following my tips). I am telling, the tips guarantee success and you wont find anywhere else.

        Hi, Beti! Yes, you can double the recipe, no problem.
        In this case, just be sure to use only 1 TBSP butter for each can of sweetened condensed milk. In addition, use a wider pan instead of a tall one; otherwise it will take much longer for them to cook.
        If it is your first time making brigadeiros, follow the tips in my video to achieve the correct consistency. The consistency is the key to getting the "dough" to roll into balls without problems. If you have any other questions, I will be happy to answer.

      These are completely addictive! They just fly off the plate until no more are left. Your method for making these is so easy-- nice that you have a video showing the process.

      Oi Denise! I am Brazilian but I live in Florida and have been trying several of your recipes. Your brigadeiro recipe is the best. I can get the consistency right every single time thanks to your tips. Cooking our food makes me not miss Brazil so much. Have a great week!

      I'm going to try making these around the holidays when my diet ends! These look delicious!
      I do have one question though; will using half tablespoons to roll balls make 28 servings, or will using full tablespoons make 28 servings?
      Thanks in advanced! I'm excited to make them!

        To make around 28 balls, please use the 1/2 TBSP. If you would like to, you can also use 1 teaspoon to make them smaller. It depends on the size of your bonbon cups. Enjoy! These are a family favorite.

      these brigadeiros are addictive. I made them for my daughter's b-day party and they disappeared quickly. She has been asking me to make them again for no special occasion. 🙂

      Muito obrigada, Denise!! Bem delicioso!
      My husband is Brazilian and I, being American, have been trying to preserve and share what I can of his Brazilian heritage for our kids. This (as well as several of your other recipes like Pao de Mel) has been a wonderful addition to our household birthday celebrations (and they come out PERFECT every time!) and I hope our kids can continue to enjoy and pass on these recipes someday in their own families. <3

        Hi, Chelsea! You made my day! I am so glad to find out this brigadeiro recipe (among some other Brazilian recipes) is cherished by your family. I feel the same way about my kids! I posted as many Brazilian recipes as I could hoping my daughters will cook them by themselves one day and pass them to their children. It feels my heart with joy that my recipes are part of your table and that you are trying to preserve your children's Brazilian heritage. Have a blessed week and thanks for stopping by!
