Vegan Cocoa Brigadeiro

We want to share with you a recipe for healthy brigadeiros, very easy to make, and of course allergen-free, gluten-free and vegan.

They are also a great alternative for those on a diet because in this recipe we use sweet potatoes instead of condensed milk, making them more nutritious and less caloric.
