Dulce de Leche Fudge (Churros Truffles)

Hello friends! I’m here today to show you how to make this super easy Dulce de Leche Fudge, which I am also calling Churros Truffles, because I coated the treats in a mixture of sugar and cinnamon.

In Brazil, these are known as Churros Brigadeiros, they are super popular, and my very favorite brigadeiro flavor.

Also make sure to watch the video on this page or on YouTube, showing you how to make these churros truffles.

If you ever heard about a Brazilian treat called brigadeiro, you will immediately know what this Dulce de Leche Fudge is all about.

It’s basically a condensed milk fudge treat that’s really popular in Brazil, served at every single birthday party.

The most traditional flavors are chocolate and coconut. However, it’s such a beloved treat in Brazil that now they are made in hundreds of different flavors. And they even have specialty shops that specialize in selling exclusively brigadeiros.

Anyway, like I said, this Dulce de Leche Fudge is super easy to make. All you need is 3 ingredients for the fudge itself:

• Condensed milk
• Dulce de Leche
• Butter

And for coating the treats, I used a mixture of crystal sugar and cinnamon. You can use sprinkles, shredded coconut, finely chopped nuts. The list is really endless. They are very versatile.

I mean just look at that amazing texture! It’s hard not to eat the whole thing with a spoon before even rolling the fudge balls into beautiful truffles!

And that’s what we often do in Brazil. My sister and I used to make condensed milk fudge (usually chocolate or coconut), and just eat it with a spoon right out of the pan, watching Harry Potter on a Friday night!

About the dulce de leche for the truffles, you can make your own, or use store-bought.

To make your own dulce de leche is extremely easy.

I have a few recipes and methods on how to make dulce de leche at home if you don’t want to buy store-bought. And honestly, I prefer the dulce de leche made at home from a can of condensed milk, because you can control how thick the dulce de leche will be, and most store-bought dulce de leches won’t be thick enough to be piped, like I did on top of these truffles.

And click here to see my favorite method of making dulce de leche (using a pressure cooker).

And of course, you can always purchase dulce de leche at the store. Here is my favorite brand.

You can also find me testing and comparing more dulce de leche brands on the Dulce de Leche Guide.

Can I freeze this Dulce de Leche Fudge?

Another great thing about this Dulce de Leche Fudge is that you can make it way ahead for a birthday party, or special celebration, and freeze it for up to 2 months, already assembled and everything.

This is the container I use to freeze my fudge truffles.

In the fridge, they will keep for about 15 days, but to keep them fresh, I recommend freezing if you are gonna go that long.

Ingredients

Dulce de Leche Fudge

• 1
  can condensed milk
  14 oz.
• 1/2
  cup
  dulce de leche
• 1
  tbsp
  unsalted butter

To roll

• 1/2
  cup
  crystal sugar
• 1/2
  tsp
  cinnamon powder

Instructions

Dulce de Leche Fudge

1. Mix all ingredients: condensed milk, 1/2 cup dulce de leche, and butter in a saucepan.
2. Over medium heat, stir mixture without stopping, while you bring it to a boil.
3. Once mixture comes to a boil, reduce heat to medium low.
4. Keep stirring non stop while it cooks.
5. Don’t stop stirring the mixture, or the fudge will stick to the bottom of the pan.
6. You should cook it for about 15 minutes.
7. To test if the fudge is ready, simply tilt the pan and if the mixture comes off from the bottom of the pan, you’re good to go. Mixture will look shiny and firm. If you run a spatula on the bottom of the pan, fudge will take about 5 seconds to come together again. You are looking for a very thick stage.
8. Remove fudge to a buttered plate. Let it cool down until it gets to room temperature and then stick it in the fridge.
9. Let it sit in the fridge for an hour or so until it’s cool.

To roll

1. Mix the sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl.
2. With buttered hands, scoop a small amount of fudge and roll between your palms to form a smooth ball. Coat the ball in the sugar and cinnamon mixture. Put in small baking cups (I used 1 inch ones).
3. Do this until you’re done with all the fudge. You’ll obtain around 20 balls depending on how big you make them.

Storage

1. Store the Dulce de Leche Fudge in the fridge for up to 15 days.
2. You can also store it in the freezer for up to 2 months, make sure it’s well packaged. To thaw it, simply place it in the fridge a couple hours before serving.

Recipe Notes

*You can also roll the balls in sprinkles, shredded coconut, chopped nuts.

**If you want to make this to fill the inside of a cake or cupcakes, you can cook slightly less, and don’t place it in the fridge before filling the cake or might become too hard to spread. Let it come to room temperature and then spread it on the cake.
