  1. Combine the condensed milk, cocoa powder (sifted) and butter and add them to a non-stick pan.
  2. Set the pan over a low heat and keep stirring with a silicone spatula until it thickens into a smooth cream, this could take between 10 and 15 minutes.
  3. The mixture is ready when you can see the bottom of the pan for at least 3-4 seconds when you drag the spatula through it.
  4. Butter a large plate and transfer the cream to cool at room temperature.
  5. Once it is cool and firm enough to handle, shape out balls, then coat them with desiccated coconut and sprinkles.
  6. Chill in the fridge for a few hours before you serve.
