Rich coconut milk simmers with cocoa powder and cane sugar until it thickens into a deep, fudgy mass that pulls cleanly away from the sides of the pan — that's the moment you know these are ready. A touch of vanilla rounds out the flavor before the mixture chills into a scoopable, rollable truffle base. Each piece gets shaped by hand, coated in crunchy chocolate sprinkles, and tucked into a mini liner for that classic candy-shop look. The result is dense, glossy, and chocolatey in exactly the way a good brigadeiro should be, with a slight coconut sweetness in the background. These make a great make-ahead treat for parties or gifting, and they're an easy one to add to your dairy free dessert lineup.

Combine the full-fat coconut milk, cocoa powder, organic cane sugar, vegan butter, and fine salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk constantly until the butter melts and the mixture is smooth with no cocoa lumps, about 2 minutes.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula and scraping the bottom and sides of the pan, until the mixture thickens and pulls away from the sides of the pan in a single mass, 15–18 minutes. To test doneness, drag the spatula across the bottom of the pan — the line should hold for 3–4 seconds before the mixture flows back.
