Steps
- 01
Sift 30 g cocoa into a small heavy-bottomed pan with 395 g sweetened condensed milk, 25 g butter and 0.5 g salt. Mix off heat until no cocoa lumps remain.
- 02
Cook over low to medium-low heat 12–18 minutes, stirring and scraping continuously. It is ready when a line drawn across the base holds for two seconds and the mixture moves as one thick mass. Avoid touching hot sugary fudge.
Hot condensed milk and sugar can cling to the skin and cause serious burns. Never test the mixture with a fingertip: check the trail with a spatula and keep the hot saucepan out of children's reach. - 03
Spread on a lightly buttered shallow plate, allow steam to subside, cover and chill at 4°C or below about 40 minutes until shapeable. Place 90 g chocolate sprinkles in a bowl.
- 04
Rub remaining 5 g butter lightly on clean hands, divide mixture into around 20 equal pieces, roll into balls, coat in chocolate sprinkles and place in small paper cups. Serve two per person.
