Introduce the recipe and ingredients for Brigadeiros, mentioning two types: chocolate and coconut.

For the chocolate Brigadeiros, in a saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk, and 1/4 cup cocoa powder. Whisk well until combined.

Switch to a wooden spoon and stir constantly until the mixture thickens to the point that you can see the bottom of the saucepan.

Transfer the chocolate mixture to a plate and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

For the coconut Brigadeiros, in a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk, and 1/2 cup coconut milk. Whisk well until combined.

Switch to a wooden spoon and stir constantly until the mixture thickens to the point that you can see the bottom of the saucepan.

Transfer the coconut mixture to a plate and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Grease your hands with butter spray or room-temperature butter to prevent sticking.

Take about half of a tablespoon of the chocolate mixture and roll it into little balls.

Roll the balls into chocolate sprinkles or chocolate flakes, then place them in mini-sized baking cups.

Repeat the process for the coconut Brigadeiros: take a portion with a spoon, grease your hands with butter, roll into small balls, and roll the balls over shredded coconut.
