Instructions

Step 1: In a small saucepan over low heat, gently melt 3 oz vegan dark chocolate with 1/4 cup full-fat coconut milk until smooth, stirring constantly for 3-4 minutes until fully melted and glossy.
Step 2: Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup frozen açaí puree and 2 tbsp coconut sugar until the mixture becomes thick and glossy, about 5 minutes of stirring.
Step 3: Scoop 1/2 teaspoon portions of the mixture onto a parchment-lined tray, then roll each into a small ball using your hands. Gently roll each ball in 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut until fully coated.
Step 4: Refrigerate for 15 minutes to set. The brigadeiros should feel firm but slightly yielding when pressed, with a smooth, rich chocolate-açaí flavor.
