Brigadeiro Cupcakes



Brigadeiro Cupcakes are a delightful twist on the classic Brazilian chocolate truffle known as Brigadeiro. These moist and chocolatey cupcakes are filled with a creamy brigadeiro center and topped with more brigadeiro and chocolate sprinkles for an extra indulgence.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup of all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup of granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup of whole milk
  • 1/2 cup of sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/4 cup of chocolate sprinkles for decoration
  • Brigadeiro Filling:
  • 1 can 14 ounces of sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
  • Chocolate sprinkles optional, for garnish

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350F 175C and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners

In a bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt

Set aside

In a separate large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition

Stir in the vanilla extract

Alternate adding the dry ingredients and the whole milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients

Mix until just combined

Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full with the cupcake batter

In a small saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, and butter for the brigadeiro filling

Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and starts to pull away from the sides of the pan

Remove from heat and let it cool slightly

Make a small well in the center of each cupcake and spoon in a teaspoon of brigadeiro filling

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cupcakes comes out clean

Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely

Once cooled, drizzle the remaining brigadeiro filling over the cupcakes and sprinkle with chocolate sprinkles

Enjoy your delicious Brigadeiro Cupcakes!
