Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Pineapple Reduction
  • 1 medium pearl pineapple diced with core removed
  • 100 g granulated sugar or refined sugar
Fudge Base
  • 395 g sweetened condensed milk
  • 200 g heavy cream
  • 14 g unsalted butter
  • 50 g high-quality white chocolate optional, makes it creamier
  • to taste fresh mint leaves
Finishing Touches
  • to taste refined or granulated sugar
  • to taste lemon zest or yellow sprinkles

Method
 

  1. Cook the pineapple with the sugar until all the water evaporates and it becomes a golden paste. Let it cool.
  2. Mix sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, butter, and white chocolate. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly.
  3. When it starts to come away from the bottom of the pan, add the pineapple and cook until it reaches the point where it can be rolled.
  4. Add the chopped or crushed mint to intensify the aroma.
  5. Let it rest for 6 hours, shape the balls and finish with sugar or sprinkles.

Notes

Very dry pineapple ensures the perfect consistency. Letting the dough rest makes it firmer and easier to roll. Great option to sell as a differentiated gourmet brigadeiro.
