Ingredients
2-14ozcan of condensed milk
2tablespoonsunsalted butter
1-2tablespoonskey lime zest
Instructions
Place all ingredients in a small saucepan.
Bring to a boil over medium heat.
Keep stirring, non-stop, for 10-15 minutes while the mixture simmers. Don’t let the heat be too high, or it will burn the fudge. Also, don’t stop stirring, or that will also burn the fudge.
The fudge will be ready when it’s very thick and you can see the bottom of the pan easily as you stir with your spatula.
Tilt the pan over, and if the fudge comes off the bottom all at once, you can probably remove from the heat.
Place it in a heat proof bowl, let it cool down all the way.
Butter your hands very lightly.
Use a spoon to grab some fudge and roll it between your buttered hands.
Roll the fudge ball in sprinkles, or sparkling sugar mixed with lime zest.
Place it in mini paper cups.
Storage
Brigadeiros will store nicely in the fridge for up to 2 weeks and in the freezer for a couple of months.
