Champagne Brigadeiro
If you love classic brigadeiro, you won’t be able to resist this champagne version. A sparkly and delicious treat to celebrate New Year’s Eve in style!
Ingredients
- 1 can (14oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- ¾ cup (120g) white chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons sparkling wine
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- Sprinkles to decorate
Instructions
- Combine the sweetened condensed milk and butter in a Dutch oven or non-stick saucepan. Cook, under medium low heat, until the butter melts.
- Add the white chocolate and cook, stirring constantly with a rubber spatula, until the chocolate has melted and the mixture has thickened. The right consistency is when you run the spatula along the pot and it leaves a clear path, with the brigadeiro taking a while to come back together.
- Add the champagne and heavy cream. Cook until it thickens again.
- Remove from the heat, pour into a greased plate and let it cool to room temperature. Then, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 hours.
- Scoop one tablespoon of the mixture and roll into balls.
- Roll each ball into the sprinkles and place in candy cups.
- Serve immediately or store at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Notes
Rolling the brigadeiros:
- If the brigadeiro is too stiff after chilling in the fridge, let it come to room temperature before attempting to shape the balls.
- Brigadeiro is sticky, so rubbing a little butter on your hands is advised.
Storage:
Brigadeiro can be stored at room temperature, in a cool and dry spot, for up to 3 days. It can also be refrigerated for up to a week.Freezing instructions:
For longer storage, freeze up to 3 months with or without the sprinkles. Thaw in the refrigerator, then bring to room temperature, if desired, before enjoying.Nutrition
