Reduce the coconut milk down while stirring.

Add 2 tablespoons of vegan butter and 50 g of chocolate powder to the pan, continuing to stir.

Optionally add agave to sweeten, depending on the sweetness of the chocolate powder.

Stir until the mixture can be split down the middle for about 2 seconds before it rejoins.

With clean hands, grab a pinch of the chocolate mixture and roll it into a ball.

Dip the chocolate ball into half a cup of chocolate sprinkles to coat it.

Plate the brigadeiros and refrigerate them for a nicer texture.
