Brazilian chocolate truffles - brigadeiro
Brigadeiro are fudgy Brazilian chocolate truffles, made from a cooked mixture of condensed milk, cocoa, and butter. The mixture is simmered until it's thick and pulls away from the pan, then chilled until firm enough to roll. Once chilled, shape them into small balls and coat them in your favorite toppings, like chopped nuts or coconut.

Cook the Chocolate Mixture
In a medium, heavy-based saucepan, combine the 3 tablespoons of butter, 400 grams of condensed milk, a pinch of salt, and the 4 tablespoons of cocoa. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to cook for 10–15 minutes, stirring without a break. The mixture should become thick and shiny, pulling away from the bottom of the pan as you stir.
