Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon of margarine;
• 395g of condensed milk (1 can or box);
• 3/4 cup of cooked, unsalted and mashed Japanese pumpkin; 
• 1/3 cup coconut milk;
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon;
• Crystal sugar to taste;
• Carnations for decoration.

Preparation Method

Preparing the Brigadeiro Mixture

1. In a medium saucepan, add the condensed milk, cooked and mashed Japanese pumpkin, coconut milk, unsalted Doriana Margarine and cinnamon. These ingredients will create a creamy and aromatic base for the brigadeiro. The Japanese pumpkin brings natural sweetness and vibrant color, while the coconut milk adds a soft and exotic touch.
2. Bring the mixture to a low heat. and start stirring constantly. Keeping the heat low is essential to prevent the brigadeiro from burning. The secret to a good brigadeiro is to stir patiently, until the mixture begins to thicken and come away from the bottom of the pan.
3. Cook until the mixture turns into a creamy mass., with a firmer consistency. To test the consistency, lift the spatula and observe: when the mixture begins to run slowly, but still maintains its shape, and when it falls onto the rest of the pan it does not mix, it is a sign that the brigadeiro is ready to be removed from the heat.

Modeling the Brigadeiros

1. Remove the brigadeiro from the pan and transfer the mixture to a large plate or bowl. Let it cool completely before shaping the balls. This cooling time is important so that the brigadeiro becomes firmer and easier to shape.
2. Grease your hands with a very thin layer of unsalted Doriana Margarine, to prevent the dough from sticking. Shape the pumpkin brigadeiro into balls weighing about 15g each. The size of the balls can be adjusted according to preference, but 15g is ideal for the brigadeiro to have the perfect texture.
3. Roll the balls in crystal sugar to give that sweet and crunchy touch on the outside. The crystal sugar will give shine and a slight crunch to the brigadeiro, making it even tastier.

Decorating the Brigadeiros

1. With the help of a string or toothpick, make shallow lines on the brigadeiros, imitating the segments of a pumpkin. This will give a special touch to the decoration, giving the brigadeiros a creative and attractive look, perfect for themed parties or as a different dessert.
2. Decorate the brigadeiros by sticking 1 clove in. in the center of each ball. The clove will not only beautify the brigadeiro, but also add a light aromatic flavor that perfectly complements the pumpkin candy.
