Lemon Brigadeiros instructions

1. Add condensed milk, lemon and lemon zest on a heavy bottom pan and mix well until all is incorporated. If you would like a heavier lemon taste, you can add as much as you like..
2. Add the butter and take to medium-low heat mixing constantly (I like using a flexible spatula the best).
3. Its important not to stop stirring, otherwise the milk will burn and stick to the pan..
4. Cook until you have a pudding like texture and when you tilt the pan, the mixture slides off of it unsticking to the bottom..
5. Lightly grease a large plate with butter and then pour the mixture onto the plate. Let cool completely for 1 - 2 hours..
6. Once the mixture has cooled, very lightly grease your hands with butter and grab half a tablespoon of the mixture and roll into a ball..
7. Roll the ball on sugar. Repeat steps 6 and 7 until your brigadeiro mixture is finished..
8. Garnish each little brigadeiro with a bit of lemon zest on the top..
9. Eat right away or you must store them in an air tight container. They will last about a week (but they wont make it because they are heavenly). Enjoy this little Brazilian bomboms!.
