Brigadeiro（巴西松露巧克力）

关于这个食谱

Brigadeiro is the Brazilian dessert — a simple mixture of sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder and butter cooked until thick, cooled and rolled into balls, then coated in chocolate sprinkles (granulado). The texture is unique: softer than a truffle, fudgier than a ganache, with an intensely sweet, caramel-chocolate flavour that comes from the slow cooking of condensed milk. They are mandatory at every Brazilian children's party and most adults feel as strongly about them. The recipe has exactly three ingredients and requires nothing more than a saucepan, a wooden spoon and patience. Modern versions have expanded to include coconut, pistachio, Oreo and other coatings, but the classic chocolate sprinkle version remains the definitive brigadeiro.

食材

服务 30

• 395 g甜炼乳
• 20 g无盐黄油
• 3 tbsp无糖可可粉
• 100 gchocolate sprinkles (granulado) for rolling
• small amount黄油用于润滑双手

步骤

1. 1

   煮混合物

   Combine condensed milk, butter and cocoa in a heavy saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon or spatula, scraping the bottom and sides.

2. 2

   测试熟度

   Cook for 10–15 minutes until the mixture thickens and pulls away from the sides of the pan. To test: drag a spoon through — the channel should hold for 2–3 seconds before closing.

3. 3

   酷

   Pour the mixture onto a buttered plate or baking tray. Cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour until firm enough to roll.

4. 4

   搓成球状

   Butter your hands lightly. Scoop a teaspoon of mixture and roll between your palms into a smooth ball about 2.5 cm across.

5. 5

   外套和套装

   Roll each ball immediately in chocolate sprinkles.放入小纸杯中。食用前冷藏 30 分钟。

变化

• •

  Brigadeiro branco: replace cocoa with white chocolate and roll in coconut flakes.

• •

  Romeo e Julieta filling: add cream cheese to the mixture for a more complex flavour.

• •

  素食者：将蛋白质换成烤杏鲍菇、熏豆腐或煮熟的鹰嘴豆——稍微向上调整调味料以进行补偿。

• •

  更辣：在芳香剂中添加切碎的新鲜辣椒或一茶匙压碎的阿勒颇/乌尔法胡椒，以获得温暖、分层的热量，而不是单一的强烈刺激。

存储
