Brigadeirão

This is a yummy cake-like Brazilian dessert. Recipe from the mother of Andy's Brazilian coworker, Gustavo.

2 T butter

3 eggs
2 T sugar
1 cup cocoa
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 can of cream (3/4 cup normal cream)

Blend eggs and butter. Add everything else and blend. Pour into well-greased and sugar-dusted microwave safe bowl. Microwave 8 to 11 minutes or until set and edges begin to pull away. Chill before serving.

You can place a greased cup in the middle to create a bundt-like effect. After cooking, remove the cup and invert the Brigadeirão onto a serving platter.
