Step 3: Make the Brigadeiro Frosting
Brigadeiro is Brazil’s most famous chocolate fudge treat, and this frosting is a creamy, spreadable version!
1️⃣ In a saucepan over medium heat, add sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, butter, and a pinch of salt.
2️⃣ Stir constantly with a wooden spoon or spatula to prevent burning.
3️⃣ After about 5–7 minutes, the mixture will start to thicken. Add the heavy cream and continue stirring for another 2–3 minutes until smooth and spreadable.
4️⃣ Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before spreading on the cake.
📌 Tip: If the frosting gets too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen it up.
Step 4: Assemble & Decorate the Cake
1️⃣ Place the cooled cake on a serving plate.
2️⃣ Spread the Brigadeiro frosting evenly over the top and sides of the cake.
3️⃣ Sprinkle generously with chocolate sprinkles for an authentic Brazilian touch!
📌 Tip: Let the frosting set for 10–15 minutes before slicing for the best texture.
