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!
- 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
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.
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.
