A very famous recipe of gooey chocolate truffles which kids (of all ages) will adore.
No Brazilian kid’s party is complete without Brigadeiro. If you grew up in a Brazilian household these gooey chocolate truffles are by now permanently imprinted into our psyche and inhabit the same side of your brain as motherly love.
For this clip I recruited the help of some expert in Brigadeiro-making: KIDS! I know it’s child labour, but they didn’t seem to mind. The gorgeous looking children you can see here are my own (Olivia and Elvis) and Geoff and Tete’s kids (Laura and Ben). They were real stars! Especially Ben, who speaks with a very grown up ‘BBC presenter’ tone.
The recipe could not be simpler. This recipe should make around 20 truffles.
Ingredients:
- 1 Can of Condensed Milk
- 3 tbsp of Chocolate Drink Powder
- 2 tbsp of butter
To decorate: (any of these)
- Chocolate Vermicelli
- Grated coconut (fresh of dessicated)
- Caster sugar
How to prepare:
(watch the video!!!)

Beautiful children and delicious treat! I usually ad one egg yolk to my recipe.
I’m a Brazilian English teacher and I need your help, if possible. I’d like to know how to say ‘jiló’ in English. Thank you very much for your time and help.
Regards,
Ana

Oi Nando,
I love each and every recipe you post, and the music is also excellent!!! I love it as well, I don’t kow if you’ve done it before but, wouldn’t it be nice to add a comment of the name of the songs that are played in each one of the recipe’s videos? I mean, lovers of brazilian music like me, would highly appreciate it.
Obrigada.

Ola Fernando!
Otimo site.
E otima ideia da receita de brigadeiro. Aqui em Paris Maria e Antonio também nao dispensavam os brigadeiros nas festas. Me mande seu email porque estou tentando falar com você por um antigo que creio estar desativado.
Beijos nos quatro, ainda nao conhecia Elvis. Olivia ainda é louca por morangos?
Ronaldo manda um beijo também.
