Step 2: Make the Brigadeiro Filling

  1. In a saucepan, combine condensed milk, cocoa powder, and butter.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly.
  3. Add heavy cream and cook for 2–3 more minutes until smooth and pourable.
  4. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3: Assemble the Cake

  1. Slice off the top of the cake and hollow out the inside slightly to create space for the filling.
  2. Pour the brigadeiro filling into the hollow, then replace the top layer of the cake.
  3. Cover the entire cake with chocolate ganache (melt chocolate + cream mixed together).
  4. Sprinkle generously with chocolate sprinkles, pressing them in gently to stick.

Step 4: Serve

  • When sliced, the warm brigadeiro filling will ooze out, creating the perfect molten effect!
