This is a large, creme-caramel-like version of the classic Brazilian chocolate bonbon known as brigadeiro. This recipe is super easy and fast because it's made in the microwave. If you do not want to unmold the brigadeiro or don't have a glass tube cake pan, just use a glass pie dish.

BRAZILIAN BRIGADEIRO...FOR CHOCOHOLICS
This recipe is super simple. My daughther (12 year old) now makes it and can be used for a multitude of things--cake fillings or toppings or if you need a chocolate fix. Cook up a batch and dig in. The hardest part? Waiting for it to cool down! Your imagination is the only limit to its uses.

Steps:
- Empty condensed milk into pan; stir in chocolate powder and cook on stove, stirring constantly.
- Once it comes to a boil, reduce heat and allow to simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from heat; cool (it thickens slightly on cooling) use as required.
- Tip -- The longer you leave it to boil, the thicker it gets. Therefore, using it as icing inside a cake it would need to be a littler thicker than normal. Using it just to eat as a chocolate fix (which most Brazilians do) won't need as much time boiling. This recipe will spice up any old boring cake.
- You can also prepare this in the microwave. Place all ingredients into microwave safe bowl and heat, stirring at intervals until you get the desired thickness. Be careful, this tends to rise up the sides of the bowl. To avoid spillage use a large bowl.
