Ingredients for Healthy Brigadeiro
    Main Ingredients
  • 100 grams dark chocolate 80% (Ensure it's finely chopped for easier melting.)
  • 1 cup heavy cream (Can be substituted with a lighter option if desired.)
  • 2 tablespoons xylitol (Feel free to adjust sweetness to taste.)
Instructions
    Preparation Steps
  1. Cook the Mixture

    Combine all ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring continuously until the mixture pulls away from the sides of the pan.

    Make sure to stir consistently to prevent burning.
  2. Cool and Shape

    Transfer the mixture to a bowl and refrigerate for about 30 minutes until it cools. Once cool, shape into small balls.

    Use cocoa powder for rolling to enhance the chocolate flavor.
