Brigadeiro (Brazilian Portuguese pronunciation: [bɾiɡaˈdejɾu]) is a traditional Brazilian dessert. The dessert was created by a confectioner, Heloísa Nabuco de Oliveira, to promote the presidential candidacy of Eduardo Gomes. The ingredients are condensed milk, cocoa powder, butter and chocolate sprinkles, which coat the outside to prevent any sticking. It can be cooked in the stove or microwave to soft-ball stage caramel. It is a popular confection throughout the country, especially for festive events. Brigadeiros are commonly made at home, and also found in bakeries and snack shops. A brigadeiro is generally shaped into small balls covered in chocolate sprinkles and placed in a small cupcake liner. The mixture may also be served into a small container and eaten with a spoon; this is known as a brigadeiro de colher (literally, "spoon brigadeiro"). Brigadeiro can be found now in different countries as a result of Brazilian migration. In recent years, flavor and coating variations on the traditional chocolate brigadeiros have become popular. This variation of flavors and easy manipulation of the original dessert lead into a trend of different recipes, such as cakes, tarts, ice cream, candies or even bread.
