-
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed coconut milk
-
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

Directions
Place the Vegan Brazilian Brigadeiro Truffles on a tray lined with parchment paper to set. Allow them to cool completely before serving.
Brigadeiro truffles are traditionally coated with chocolate sprinkles, but you can get creative and use other coatings like crushed nuts or cocoa powder if you prefer. These truffles are best enjoyed within a few days of making them.
