Ingredients
The following ingredients have 20 Servings
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14-ounce or 396 g)
- 1/3 cup your favorite baking cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon unsalted butter (softened)
- 3/4 cup any golden Ale beer (not counting the foam**, low yeast and 4.2% - 4.8% ABV or alcohol content)
- Chocolate sprinkles or milk chocolate flakes
- full bodied, and fruity taste. For a gluten-free version of this recipe, use a gluten-free beer.
Instruction
- In a nonstick, medium saucepan, stir together the sweetened condensed milk with the cocoa powder until obtaining a homogeneous mixture. Add both the butter and beer, and cook over medium heat (large burner), stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, for about 7-8 minutes. Then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring constantly, for an additional 10 minutes or until the bottom of the pan starts to show through the beer brigadeiro mixture. Transfer warm beer brigadeiro to a greased dish and let cool on a rack. If desired, it can be refrigerated for 15-20 minutes to make easier to roll into balls. Grease hands with butter, shape beer brigadeiro into balls (a tablespoon can be used as measurement), roll in the chocolate sprinkles, and place in bonbon cups.
- Note: All the beer alcohol content evaporates in the cooking process, so children can also consume beer brigadeiro.
