Ingredients

  • 1 can Sweetened Condensed Coconut Milk
  • 2 tablespoons Cocoa Powder
  • 1 tablespoon Dairy-Free Butter
  • 1/2 cup Chocolate Sprinkles

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

  1. 1In a medium saucepan, combine the 1 can Sweetened Condensed Coconut Milk, the 2 tablespoons Cocoa Powder, and the 1 tablespoon Dairy-Free Butter.
  2. 2Cook this mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly with a spoon or spatula. Continue stirring and cooking until the mixture thickens significantly and begins to pull away from the bottom and sides of the saucepan, which should take about 10 to 15 minutes. The mixture should form a cohesive mass.
  3. 3Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly in the pan for about 5 to 10 minutes. It should be cool enough to handle but still warm.
  4. 4Grease your hands lightly if needed (optional, but can prevent sticking) and scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the cooled mixture at a time. Roll each portion between your palms to form a small ball, about 2.54 cm in diameter.
  5. 5Place the 1/2 cup Chocolate Sprinkles in a shallow bowl or on a plate. Roll each chocolate ball in the sprinkles, pressing gently to coat the entire surface.
  6. 6Place the coated brigadeiro balls on a plate or in a container. Refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up before serving.
