Ingredients

  • 1 can Vegan Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 3 tablespoons Cocoa Powder
  • 1 tablespoon Vegan Butter
  • 1/2 cup Vegan Chocolate Sprinkles

Instructions

  1. 1In a medium saucepan, combine the 1 can vegan sweetened condensed milk, the 3 tablespoons cocoa powder, and the 1 tablespoon vegan butter.
  2. 2Cook this mixture over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a heatproof spatula or wooden spoon. Continue to cook and stir for 10 to 15 minutes, until the mixture thickens to the point where you can see the bottom of the pan for a few seconds after stirring.
  3. 3Grease a flat plate or shallow dish with a little extra vegan butter (not listed in ingredients, so omit this instruction). Transfer the thickened mixture from the saucepan to the greased plate and spread it out evenly. Let the mixture cool completely at room temperature, which will take at least 1 hour.
  4. 4Once the mixture is completely cool and firm enough to handle, scoop out portions and roll them between your palms to form small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
  5. 5Place the 1/2 cup vegan chocolate sprinkles in a shallow bowl. Roll each brigadeiro ball in the sprinkles until it is evenly coated.
  6. 6Serve the brigadeiro immediately or store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
