Pumpkin Brigadeiros Pumpkin brigadeiros are a fall twist on one of the most traditional Brazilian sweets. Instead of chocolate, this version pairs sweetened condensed milk with real pumpkin puree.

  • Total Time: 90 min
  • Yield: 20 brigadeiros 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Main
1 14 oz can Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk
1/4 cup pumpkin puree
1 tbsp unsalted butter, plus more for rolling

For rolling
1/2 cup granulated sugar
20 mini chocolate chips

Instructions

1-Place the Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk,: Place the Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk, the pumpkin puree, and the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat and stir non-stop while the mixture comes to a gentle boil and starts to cook. Don’t stop stirring at any point or it will stick to the bottom of the pan.
2-Cook the mixture for about 15 minutes,: Cook the mixture for about 15 minutes, until very thick. If you run a spatula through the bottom of the pan, the brigadeiro should take about 5 seconds to come back together. And the mixture should fall off the spatula into chunks.
3-Remove the brigadeiro to a plate, let: Remove the brigadeiro to a plate, let it cool down, and then stick it in the fridge for at least 1 hour until completely chilled through.
4-With buttered hands, scoop a small amount: With buttered hands, scoop a small amount of brigadeiro and roll between your palms to form a smooth ball. Then use a toothpick to make dents along the sides of the brigadeiro ball to form a pumpkin shape. Place a mini chocolate on top to be the pumpkin stem.
