Description
Delightful sweet treats combining Brazilian tradition with the warm flavors of fall, Pumpkin Brigadeiros are a perfect addition to any autumn gathering.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- ¼ cup pumpkin puree
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (plus more for rolling)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 20 mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Combine the sweetened condensed milk, pumpkin puree, and butter in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until it starts to boil.
- Continue cooking for about 15 minutes until the mixture is very thick. If you scrape the bottom of the pan with a spatula, the brigadeiro should take about 5 seconds to come back together.
- Pour the mixture onto a plate and let it cool. Chill it in the fridge for at least 1 hour until completely cold.
- Butter your hands, scoop a small amount of the mixture, and roll it into a ball. Use a toothpick to make dents to form a pumpkin shape. Place a mini chocolate chip on top as the pumpkin stem.
Notes
Store them at room temperature for up to 2 days, in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
