Where to find ingredients

All-purpose flour and white chocolate sprinkles are widely available in any baking supplies store.
Preparation method
- Set aside the white chocolate sprinkles for the final coating
- In a heavy-bottomed pan, whisk together the condensed milk, table cream, egg yolk, flour, and Farinha Láctea
- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly to ensure the mixture does not stick or burn
- Continue stirring until the mixture pulls away clearly from the bottom of the pan, reaching the 'brigadeiro' consistency
- Transfer the mixture to a shallow bowl and allow it to cool completely to room temperature
- With greased palms, roll the mixture into small, bite-sized balls
- Roll each ball in the white chocolate sprinkles and place into individual paper cups
- Serve at room temperature or chilled, depending on your preference
