How do you make brigadeiro with white sprinkles?
Cook condensed milk, cocoa and butter together, stirring until the mixture thickens and pulls away from the pan. Let it cool completely, shape it into small balls with lightly greased hands, then roll each ball in white sprinkles.
Where does brigadeiro with white sprinkles come from?
Brigadeiro with white sprinkles comes from Brazil, where brigadeiros are popular party sweets, especially at birthdays. The white-sprinkle coating is a variation on the familiar cocoa-based sweet rather than a separate traditional recipe.
Are the white sprinkles on brigadeiro with white sprinkles made of white chocolate?

What is the difference between brigadeiro with white sprinkles and beijinho?

Why is my brigadeiro with white sprinkles too soft to roll?
Brigadeiro with white sprinkles is too soft to roll if the mixture has not cooked long enough. Keep stirring over heat until it thickens and starts pulling away from the pan, then cool it fully before shaping.
How should you store brigadeiro with white sprinkles, and how long does it keep?
Store brigadeiro with white sprinkles in a covered container in the refrigerator and eat it within a few days. Let the pieces sit briefly at room temperature before serving so the chilled centers soften.
Can you freeze brigadeiro with white sprinkles?
Yes, brigadeiro with white sprinkles can be frozen. Freeze the pieces separately before transferring them to a sealed container, then thaw them in the refrigerator. The sprinkles may become slightly damp after thawing.
What do you serve with brigadeiro with white sprinkles?
Serve brigadeiro with white sprinkles with coffee or tea, as is common at Brazilian celebrations. Unsweetened coffee or plain tea balances the sweet, rich confection without competing with its chocolate flavor.
How can you make brigadeiro with white sprinkles less sweet?
To make brigadeiro with white sprinkles taste less sweet, use unsweetened cocoa and apply a lighter coating of sprinkles. Condensed milk is essential to the texture and is already sweet, so smaller pieces are another practical way to keep each serving modest.
