Ingredients

The only mandatory ingredients for this dessert is condensed milk, butter or margarine, and cocoa powder. If you want to roll the truffles and give them a little pizzaz, you can use more cocoa powder, chocolate sprinkles, or even shredded coconut.

Method

1. Melt the butter in the pan
2. Add in the condensed milk and cocoa powder
3. Stir continuously with a wooden spoon on medium heat until you see the bottom of the pan when you stir it. Do not walk away from this or it will burn!
4. Pour into a greased pan and let it cool to room temperature
5. Then, grease your hands so the mixture doesn’t stick, take a small bit and roll it into a ball slightly smaller than a golf ball
6. Roll them in your toppings or eat straight away! Keep the rest in your refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Jenipapo berries have always been around in Brazil. The old tribes used them for body painting and they’ve been a cooking staple for many years. Thanks to the high concentration of a substance called genipin, Jenipapo can give an edible blue pigment that’s safe for many different uses, including cooking.

The Brazilians have been using this unique fruit to extract dye for a long time, but they just started coloring food with it in 2014, after professor and biologist Valdely Kinupp explained how to do it safely in his book Unconventional Food Plants in Brazil.

Today, if you go to Brazil, you can try many different blue meals virtually everywhere. In the meantime, you can see what people have posted on social media. Does this look delicious and tempting to you or do you prefer your food to come in natural colors?
