Brigadeiro cake is a traditional Brazilian birthday cake, inspired by the famous brigadeiro recipe (or chocolate fudge balls) . It consists of a 3-layer moist chocolate cake with an ooey-gooey chocolate fudgy filling and frosting that taste like the best thing you’ll ever have.
Prepare the Brigadeiro Filling and Frosting: Whisk the sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, and the corn starch in a medium bowl until combined. Pour into a no-stick wide saucepan. Then, mix in the half-and-half/heavy cream and butter.
Add the condensed milk to a nonstick sauce pan and mix in the chocolate powder over medium to high heat. Then keep mixing, scraping the sides of the pan with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to avoid burning. When we make brigadeiro to roll into those little bon bon balls, we need it to be a little thicker so it holds its shape.
Brigadeiro is a decadent bite-sized Brazilian chocolate confection that’s similar to a chocolate truffle, but with a fudgier texture. This version is keto, and every bit as rich and delicious! Add all ingredients to a medium saucepan over medium heat.
