  • About

These chocolate treats, named after Brigadier Eduardo Gomes of the Brazilian Air Force, are an absolute must for any child’s party in Brazil, but are equally popular with the grown-ups. This simple recipe is a fun one to make as a group activity.

Ingredients

  • 400 g/14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
  • 15 ml/1

Method

1 Heat the condensed milk, butter and chocolate powder in a pan over a medium heat.

2 Simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring constantly, until it reaches a very dense and fudgy consistency. You should be able to see the bottom of the pan when you scrape it with your spoon.
