Ingredients Needed

To prepare bonbon tray dessert, you’ll need few ingredients, all easy to find. Here is the complete list:

• 2 (14 oz) cans good-quality sweetened condensed milk
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 7 oz (200 g) milk or semisweet chocolate
• 1 small carton (7 oz / 200 g) good-quality heavy cream
• 1 can of milk (using the condensed milk can as measure)
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 10 bonbons of your choice (Sonho de Valsa, Serenata de Amor, Ouro Branco, etc.)

Directions

Step 1: Making the Brigadeiro

1. In a pan, place both cans of sweetened condensed milk and the butter.
2. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until you get a soft brigadeiro. This should take about 10 to 15 minutes.
3. Remove from the heat and let cool.

Step 2: Building the First Layer

1. Pour the brigadeiro into a serving dish, spreading well to form the dessert’s first layer.
2. Cut the bonbons in half and arrange over the brigadeiro.

Step 3: Making the Cream

1. In a pan, mix the milk, cornstarch, and heavy cream.
2. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened. This cream should reach a porridge-like consistency.
3. Pour the cream over the bonbons, forming the second layer.

Step 4: Chocolate Topping

1. Melt the chocolate (milk or semisweet) in a double boiler or microwave.
2. Mix the melted chocolate with the heavy cream until a ganache forms.
3. Spread the ganache over the cream layer, smoothing with a spatula.

Step 5: Finishing

1. Refrigerate the dish for at least 4 hours to set firmly.
2. When serving, decorate with chocolate shavings or bonbon pieces on top.

Tips for a Perfect Bonbon Tray Dessert

1. Choosing the Bonbons: Use your favorite bonbons, but ones with creamy or crunchy fillings tend to give the dessert a special touch.
2. Brigadeiro Consistency: Don’t let the brigadeiro get too firm. The ideal point is when it starts pulling away from the bottom of the pan but is still creamy.
3. Cornstarch in the Cream: Dissolve the cornstarch well in the milk before heating to avoid lumps.
4. Ganache: For a smoother ganache, add one tablespoon of butter to the melted chocolate before mixing with the heavy cream.

Recipe Variations

Bonbon Tray Dessert with Fruit

Add chopped fruit, such as strawberries or grapes, between the brigadeiro and cream layers. The fruit adds a fresh touch and balances the dessert’s sweetness.

Bonbon Tray Dessert with Cookies

Alternate layers of cornstarch cookies or ladyfingers between the brigadeiro and cream layers. The cookies absorb moisture from the creams and turn soft, adding a different texture.

White Chocolate Bonbon Tray Dessert

Replace the milk or semisweet chocolate with white chocolate for an even sweeter, more sophisticated version. The preparation is the same, just swapping the chocolate type.
