Pumpkin Brigadeiros
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Cook Time: 15 minutes
- Total Time: 30 minutes
- Yield: 20 brigadeiros 1x
- Category: Dessert
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (14 oz sweetened condensed milk)
- ¼ cup pumpkin puree
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (plus more for rolling)
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
Storage
- Store the brigadeiros in the fridge in a covered container for up to 15 days.
Notes
- Sugar: Raw sugar makes the brigadeiros look cuter compared to regular granulated sugar.
- Pumpkin Spice: Add ¼ teaspoon of pumpkin spice to the mixture or mix some with the sugar for rolling. Try both ways to see which you prefer!
