Cooking Brigadeiros! For Brazilian culture. (After School)

We had the best time today making Brgadeiros for Brazilian culture. I recommend this fun and easy cooking activity for everyone to do at home. It is a fantastic way to learn about other cultures and a great way to bond with your children.
Underneath the clip is the recipe.

Brigadeiros

Ingredients:

•  1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk

•  4 tablespoons cocoa powder

•  1/4 teaspoon salt

•  3 tablespoons butter

•  1 teaspoon vanilla

•  Chocolate sprinkles for decoration

Preparation:

1.            Pour the condensed milk into your heaviest pot. Stir in the cocoa powder and the salt. 


2.            Cook, stirring constantly, over low heat. Keep the mixture barely at a boil to prevent burning and sticking. 


3.            Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring, until mixture becomes very thick and shiny and starts to pull away from the bottom and sides of the pan. 


4.            Remove from heat and stir in the butter and the vanilla. 


5.            Chill in the refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes. With buttered hands, roll the mixture into 1 inch balls. 


6.            Roll each ball in the chocolate sprinkles, and place in a paper liner. 


Chill until ready to serve.
