Dessert
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Making "Brigadeiros" dessert is not easy. The main rule is not to get distracted and constantly stir the chocolate mixture. It must not burn under any circumstances. To prevent this, grease the saucepan with two tablespoons of butter. Start cooking over medium heat. Your goal is to combine all the ingredients and bring the mixture to a boil. As soon as it starts boiling, reduce the heat to low and keep stirring constantly. If you stop, the mixture may burn. Once the mixture thickens (the trail left on the surface remains visible for 2–3 seconds) and begins to pull away from the sides of the pan, turn off the heat and continue stirring for another 2–3 minutes. When a line drawn with a spatula across the bottom of the pan stays visible for a while, that's your signal—it's ready! It only seems difficult the first time. Give it a try! Good luck, and serve chilled.
