Where to find ingredients
You can find sweetened condensed milk and heavy cream in the dairy aisle of supermarkets like Capital Shoppers or Carrefour. Malted milk powder is often available in the baking or breakfast cereals section. For the white chocolate sprinkles and general baking supplies, check the confectionery or baking aisles of major local supermarkets.
Preparation method
- Prepare the white chocolate sprinkles in a shallow dish for decorating later.
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, whisk together the condensed milk, heavy cream, egg yolk, all-purpose flour, and malted milk powder.
- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent the mixture from sticking or burning.
- Continue to cook and stir until the mixture pulls away clearly from the bottom of the pan, reaching the traditional brigadeiro stage.
- Transfer the mixture to a heat-proof bowl and allow it to cool completely.
- Using lightly greased hands, roll small portions of the cooled mixture into smooth spheres.
- Roll the spheres in the white chocolate sprinkles until fully coated, then place them into individual paper cups.
- Serve at room temperature or chilled, depending on your preferred texture.
