Where to find ingredients
You can find condensed milk, table cream, and all-purpose flour in any local supermarket's baking aisle. Farinha Láctea is a specific Brazilian malted milk powder; if unavailable, look for it in international sections or specialist imported food stores. For the white chocolate sprinkles, check the confectionery or baking decoration sections.
Preparation method
- Prepare the white chocolate sprinkles in a bowl for coating.
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the condensed milk, table cream, egg yolk, all-purpose flour, and Farinha Láctea.
- Cook over low heat, stirring continuously to prevent sticking or burning.
- Continue stirring until the mixture pulls away clearly from the bottom of the pan, indicating it has reached the proper consistency.
- Pour the mixture into a shallow bowl and allow it to cool completely.
- Grease your palms lightly with butter, then shape portions of the mixture into small, even spheres.
- Roll the spheres in the white chocolate sprinkles until fully coated and place each into a small paper candy cup.
- Serve at room temperature or chilled, according to your preference.
