Brigadeiro – Brazilian Chocolate Truffle (Brigadeiro)
Brigadeiro is a traditional Brazilian confection that has become a symbol of the country's festive cuisine. It is prepared by cooking condensed milk with cocoa and butter to a thick consistency, then shaped into balls and rolled in chocolate sprinkles or desiccated coconut.
- The name comes from Brigadier General Eduardo Gomes, a Brazilian politician of the 1940s – his supporters sold these sweets to raise campaign funds.
- Made from three ingredients – condensed milk, cocoa powder, and butter – with no flour or eggs, making it naturally gluten-free.
