**White Chocolate Brigadeiro Recipe**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
– 1 cup white chocolate chips
– 2 tbsp unsalted butter
– Pinch of salt
– White sprinkles (optional, for garnish)
**Instructions:**
1. In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk, white chocolate chips, butter, and salt. Stir continuously until the chocolate chips have completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
2. Continue cooking the mixture over low heat, stirring frequently, for about 10-15 minutes or until it thickens and starts pulling away from the sides of the pan. The mixture should have a fudgy consistency.
3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature. Once cooled, cover the mixture with plastic wrap directly on the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours or until it’s firm enough to handle.
4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a small cookie dough scoop or a spoon, scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into small balls with your hands. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet.
5. If desired, roll the brigadeiros in white sprinkles for a festive touch. Place the tray in the refrigerator for another 30 minutes to set.
6. Once set, serve the White Chocolate Brigadeiros at room temperature and enjoy the creamy, fudgy goodness.
