COCONUT BRIGADEIROS

Fudge made from condensed milk is the base for brigadeiros, bite-size sweets served in paper frills and covered with sprinkles. "Brigadeiros are like the cupcakes of Brazil," the cooking teacher Leticia Moreinos Schwartz said. "They are at every birthday party." (They are named for a once-popular politician, Brigadier Eduardo Gomes, who ran for president in 1945 under the slogan "Vote no brigadeiro, que é bonito e é solteiro" - "Vote for the brigadier, who's good-looking and single.")

Time 20m

Yield About 30 brigadeiros

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup coconut milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 teaspoons light corn syrup
1 1/2 cups finely shredded unsweetened coconut (see note)

Steps:

  • In a medium-size heavy saucepan, combine condensed milk, coconut milk, butter, corn syrup, and 1/2 cup shredded coconut. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and whisk constantly until fudgy, 8 to 10 minutes. When mixture is ready, it will pull together into one soft piece, leaving browned residue on bottom of pan.
  • Slide mixture into a bowl. (Don't scrape the pan; leave any residue behind.) Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until very firm, at least 4 hours.
  • Scoop out teaspoonfuls of the mixture and use your hands to roll into balls, about 3/4-inch in diameter. Set aside on a baking sheet.
  • Place remaining 1cup coconut in a wide bowl. Roll 4 to 6 brigadeiros at a time through coconut, covering surface completely. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 1 month. Serve at room temperature.

Time 4h45m

Yield 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup coconut milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 teaspoons light corn syrup
1 cup unsweetened coconut, finely shredded (toasted, if desired)

Steps:

  • Put the condensed milk, coconut milk, butter, corn syrup, and 1/2 cup of the coconut in a 3-quart heavy-duty saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Turn the heat to medium low and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and pulls together into a dense batter, about 8 minutes.
  • When the mixture is ready, the whisk will leave trails in the batter, allowing you to briefly see the pan bottom, and when you tilt the pan, the mixture should slide to the side in a blob, leaving a thick residue on the bottom of the pan. (It's OK if the residue is slightly brown.)
  • Slide the mixture into a bowl. (Don't scrape the pan--you don't want to use any of the batter stuck to the bottom.) Let the mixture cool to room temperature and then refrigerate until very firm, about 3 to 4 hours.
  • Put the remaining 1/2 cup coconut in a bowl. Using a teaspoon or a melon baller, scoop the mixture by the teaspoonful, and with your hands, roll each into a ball about 1 inch in diameter. Drop each ball into the coconut as you finish rolling it.
  • When you have 4 to 6 brigadeiros, roll them in the coconut and lift them out with your fingers semi-open, carefully shaking off the excess.
