How to Make Strawberry Brigadeiro

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 3 tablespoons strawberry jelly or 0.8 oz freeze-dried strawberries pulverized into a powder
  • Pink gel food coloring optional
  • Coatings: freeze-dried strawberry powder pink sugar, sprinkles, shredded coconut, or chopped nuts

Instructions
 

  • Cook the Mixture:
  • Combine sweetened condensed milk, butter, and strawberry jelly or freeze-dried strawberry powder in a heavy saucepan.
  • Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and pulls away from the sides of the pan. This should take about 4-5 minutes.
  • Cool and Shape:
  • Transfer the mixture to a bowl and let it cool completely.
  • Grease or dampen your hands and roll the mixture into small balls (about a teaspoon each).
  • Coat and Decorate:
  • Roll the balls in your choice of coating, such as freeze-dried strawberry powder, sprinkles, or pink sugar.
  • Place the finished candies in small paper liners for a festive touch.
