Brazilian candy in tiny cups: brigadeiro, beijinho and bicho-de-pé
Brigadeiro and beijinho are very popular types of candy served in parties here in Brazil - bicho-de-pé is a bit less usual, but equally adored!.
They all start with a can of sweetened condensed milk - something we love around here!. Many of our dessert/candy recipes call for it!.
The difference is in the flavors: beijinho is made with coconut, brigadeiro is chocolatey and bicho-de-pé is (artificially) strawberry flavored!.
After the candy is cooked and left to cool down, it is shaped into balls and rolled on some sort of coating (granulated sugar, desiccated coconut, chocolate sprinkles) and then placed into very small fluted paper cups (don’t mind the horrible photo, I made these for her birthday last year):
Since I was making all the candy without any help - my sister/birthday girl/sous chef had another birthday party to go to that afternoon - I decided to spare some time and use an idea I'd seen in a couple of websites - to serve the candy inside small cups!. I bought tiny plastic cups (15ml each), poured the candy while still hot inside them (before the mixture starts to firm up) and served with small wooden spoons!.
The candy was a huge hit at the party – a lot more than the cake! :)
Beijinho
1 can sweetened condensed milk (395g)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
5 tablespoons unsweetened desiccated coconut
Mix the condensed milk, butter and coconut in a saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly – when the bottom of the pan starts to show and the mixture is a bit thicker, remove from heat and immediately pour the candy into the cups!.
After it’s completely cool, sprinkle with unsweetened desiccated coconut and decorate with a clove!.
If you want to shape the candy into balls, pour the mixture onto a greased plate and let it cool completely before using!. Lightly coat your hands with butter, grab small portions of candy and roll into balls!. Roll them in unsweetened desiccated coconut or granulated sugar and place in small fluted paper cups!. Decorate each ball with a clove!.

My Mom was just telling me about a dessert made with sweetened condensed milk, she said it was whipped with lemon!. I wasn't sure that it would work, but your recipes don't contain many ingredients either, so maybe it would work after all!.

I′m going to look for sweet condensed milk!. Can I make my own!? I′m not sure I can find it at my local store!.
I saw a Swedish recipe, you know:
Whip 1 ? dl cream and 120 g powder milk in a saucepan!. Heat it up, add 3 ? dl sugar and heat until sugar is completely dissolved!. What do you think about this recipe!? Will that "sweetened condensed milk" work as well!?
