Ingredients:

1 tin sweetened condensed milk
3 tbsp chocolate milk powder
2 tbsp butter
granulated sugar (or grated chocolate)
tiny paper cups

Method:

Combine the condensed milk, milk powder and butter in a heavy pan and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Continue cooking and stirring for 2 minutes further, or until the mixture thickens sufficiently to coat the back of a metal spoon.

Take off the heat and carefully scoop the mixture into a bowl. Set aside to cool completely. Once the mixture is cold coat your hands with butter then scoop out about 1 tbsp of the mixture into the palm of your hand. Roll into a small ball, coat in the icing sugar (or chocolate) then place in a paper cup.

In Brazil the confection is often allowed to cool slightly and then eaten straight out of the pot with spoons as a communal dessert.
