Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, add the condensed milk, whipping cream, white chocolate chips, egg yolks, and vanilla extract. Stir the mixture consistently over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, until the chocolate begins to melt completely and everything is combined well.
- Use a fine mesh sieve to sift the egg yolks directly into the saucepan with the mixture. Continue stirring for another 2 minutes, blending the mixture thoroughly.
- Keep stirring the mixture on medium-high heat until it reaches a gentle boil. This step is crucial as it allows the flavors to meld and the mixture to thicken.
- After boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low, continuously stirring for about 10 to 12 minutes until the mixture thickens significantly.
- Once thickened, remove the saucepan from heat and transfer the mixture into a bowl. Cover it with plastic wrap and allow it to cool completely.
- After chilling, scoop out about 21 grams of the mixture and roll it into a smooth ball between your hands. Repeat for the entire mixture.
- Take the granulated sugar and pour it into a shallow dish. Roll each brigadeiro ball in the sugar until well coated.
- Place the sugar-coated brigadeiros back onto the baking sheet and put them in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
- Once frozen, preheat your kitchen torch and lightly caramelize the sugar on top by moving the torch back and forth.
- Let the brigadeiros sit for a few moments to allow the sugar to harden. Place each one in mini paper liners for presentation.

Notes
Ensure the mixture thickens properly; store unfinished brigadeiros in an airtight container for up to 10 days in the fridge.
