Joi's Famous Microwaved "Brigadeiro"... YUMMM!!!!

There are only a few things my husband, Joi, is good at in regards to cooking. One is making red meat (in any way... on the grill or cooking it), and the other is brigadeiro. I'm not a big fan of brigadeiro, for some reason I find it way too sweet (I know, go figure...), but his brigadeiro is one that I can never turn down!

So what is a brigadeiro you might ask? It's a typical Brazilian sweet that resembles a chocolate truffle.

Here's the recipe:

• 2 cans of condensed milk
• 8 tablespoons of sweetened Chocolate Powder (ex: Nesquik or Nescau)

Preparation:

1. Mix ingredients in a big glass bowl very well until you see that the ingredients are uniform
2. Microwave for 4 minutes, and then stir well
3. Microwave it again, but keep an eye on it because it will begin to rise up, and before it overflows you need to take it out of the microwave, stir, and then put it back in the microwave. You will repeat this process until it stops overflowing by itself. (Approximately 6 minutes)
4. Once you finish step 3, stir it once again, let it cool for 30 minutes, and then refrigerate for another 30 minutes, and voila! Enjoy! (***You can eat it straight from the bowl or you can roll them up in round spheres and cover with chocolate flavored sprinkles)
