Ingredients

14 ounce (one can) sweetened condensed milk
butter, for rolling
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/4 cup sugar

Directions

Pour the sweetened condensed milk into a small saucepan and place the pan over medium-high heat.
Stirring constantly, cook the sweetened condensed milk until thickened. You’ll know it’s ready when you draw a line through the sweetened condensed milk and it takes a few seconds for the line to fill itself back in.
Pour the cooked sweetened condensed milk into a wide, shallow dish (like a heat-proof baking dish) and allow it to cool.
When the sweetened condensed milk has cooled, rub a small amount of butter on your hands and then roll the sweetened condensed milk into small balls.
In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon and sugar with a fork. Mix until well combined.
Roll the brigadeiros into the cinnamon sugar and then refrigerate until ready to serve.
