Brigadeiro Gourmet

Brigadeiro Gourmet is a deliciously rich Brazilian dessert that combines the classic flavors of chocolate and condensed milk with a protein twist. This high-protein version is perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth while providing a nutritious boost.

Ingredients

• Sweetened condensed milk - 100 ml
• Cocoa powder (unsweetened) - 15 g
• Whey protein powder (chocolate flavor) - 30 g
• Butter - 10 g
• Chopped nuts (for rolling) - 30 g
• Sea salt - a pinch
• Dark chocolate shavings (for garnish) - 10 g

Steps

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, whey protein powder, butter, and a pinch of sea salt.
2. Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens and starts to pull away from the sides of the pan, about 10 minutes.
3. Once thickened, remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
4. After the mixture has cooled slightly, grease your hands with a little butter and roll small portions into balls, about the size of a cherry.
5. Roll each ball in chopped nuts to coat them evenly.
6. Place the brigadeiros on a plate and garnish with dark chocolate shavings.
7. Refrigerate for 10 minutes before serving to firm up.
