Ideal point for brigadeiros
Cooking with low heat is ideal for forming the brigadeiro, as high heat makes the candy stick or burn in the pan. In that case, the right point is when the brigadier is ungluing from the bottom of the pan. For this, it may take 6 to 10 minutes in the pan, and the vegan version may need a few more minutes.
