Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the Eagle Brand® Sweetened Condensed Milk, pumpkin puree, and butter. Stir continuously while allowing it to come to a gentle boil.
  2. Continue to cook the mixture for about 15 minutes until it gets very thick.
  3. Once thickened, pour the brigadeiro onto a plate and let it cool, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  4. With buttered hands, scoop out the mixture, roll it into a ball, create a pumpkin shape with a toothpick, and place a mini chocolate chip on top for the stem.
