Make the Brazilian Chocolate Truffles called Brigadeiro with a homemade dairy-free sweetened condensed milk and no refined sugar! This healthier version is sweet, creamy and chocolaty.
Combine the coconut milk and honey in a saucepan and cook over medium heat until it starts to boil.
Lower the heat to low and cook mixture for about 2 hours. After 2 hours the coconut condensed milk should be thick enough so that it does not run off the spoon easily and is reduced to about half.
Brigadeiro:
Raise the heat to medium and mix in the cacao powder, butter and vanilla.
Stir the mixture frequently until it boils, then cook for another 12 minutes approximately, scrapping the sides of the pan. This time may vary and what you are looking for is a thick and creamy consistency.
Let it cool and place it in the fridge for about 2 hours. It is important to cool it before rolling it into balls.
Remove from fridge, line your hands with butter and start rolling the chocolate into balls. You might need to add more butter to your hands in between a few rolls.
Cover each ball in cacao powder, coconut or chopped nuts.If you feel the chocolate is not thick enough to roll into balls place it back in the stove at medium heat and let it cook longer, then cool it in the fridge again before attempting to roll it into balls.
