Lemon Brigadeiros

1. 1

   Add condensed milk, lemon and lemon zest on a heavy bottom pan and mix well until all is incorporated.

2. 2

   If you would like a heavier lemon taste, you can add as much as you like.

3. 3

   Add the butter and take to medium-low heat mixing constantly (I like using a flexible spatula the best)

4. 4

   Its important not to stop stirring, otherwise the milk will burn and stick to the pan.

5. 5

   Cook until you have a pudding like texture and when you tilt the pan, the mixture slides off of it unsticking to the bottom.

6. 6

   Lightly grease a large plate with butter and then pour the mixture onto the plate.

7. 7

   Let cool completely for 1 - 2 hours.

8. 8

   Once the mixture has cooled, very lightly grease your hands with butter and grab half a tablespoon of the mixture and roll into a ball.

9. 9

   Roll the ball on sugar.

10. 10

    Repeat steps 6 and 7 until your brigadeiro mixture is finished.

11. 11

    Garnish each little brigadeiro with a bit of lemon zest on the top.

12. 12

    Eat right away or you must store them in an air tight container.

13. 13

    They will last about a week (but they wont make it because they are heavenly).

14. 14

    Enjoy this little Brazilian bomboms!
