Ingredients

2 cans of sweetened condensed milk
1 can of table cream, for a creamier consistency
1 tablespoon of Farinha Láctea, to enhance flavor and texture
1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour, for structure
2 cups of white chocolate sprinkles, for coating
2 cans of sweetened condensed milk
1 can of table cream, for a creamier consistency
1 tablespoon of Farinha Láctea, to enhance flavor and texture

Where to find ingredients
You can find all necessary ingredients at local supermarkets such as Massy Stores or Popular Discounts. Look for condensed milk and table cream in the baking aisle. Farinha Láctea is a specific Brazilian malted milk powder; if unavailable, you may use a high-quality powdered malted drink mix as a substitute, though it will slightly alter the traditional flavor profile.
Preparation method
- Set aside the white chocolate sprinkles for the final coating
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the condensed milk, table cream, egg yolk, flour, and Farinha Láctea
- Place over low heat, stirring continuously to prevent scorching or sticking to the pan
- Keep stirring until the mixture pulls away clearly from the bottom of the pan, reaching the traditional thick consistency
- Pour the mixture into a shallow bowl and allow it to cool completely to room temperature
- Using lightly greased hands, roll the mixture into small, uniform balls
- Roll each ball in the white chocolate sprinkles and place them into small paper candy cups
- Serve at room temperature or chilled, according to your preference
