French Roast Brigadeiro

Mix the condensed milk, butter, cocoa powder, and Starbuck’s Via coffee granules in your pan. Turn the heat to medium high. Be sure to continually stir for 5-7 minutes, make sure that you fully stir on the bottom to prevent burning.

You will know when it is done because as you lift one side of the pan, the Brigadeiro sticks together and reveals the clean bottom of the pan.

Once Brigadeiro is fully cooked, remove from the heat to cool. Once cooled to room temperature then place it in your refrigerator for another 2 hours. This will make it much easier to handle.

Rolling is simple. Place a tablespoon sized ball onto the end of a spoon, next slightly dampen your hands (I’m talking a drop or two!). Take the candy off the spoon and roll into a ball between your palms. The slight bit of water really makes it easy.

Now, roll the Brigadeiro ball into your coconut.

Keep chilled before eating.
