In a medium-sized non-stick saucepan, add the sweetened condensed coconut milk, cocoa powder, and vegan margarine.
Stir the mixture together over medium heat until the cocoa powder is fully integrated and the mixture is smooth.
Continue to cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or spatula to prevent burning, for about 10 to 15 minutes. The mixture should thicken significantly and start showing the bottom of the pan when you run the spoon through it.
Once thickened, remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool for a few minutes until it is safe to handle but still warm.
Lightly grease your hands with a bit of vegan margarine to prevent sticking, then scoop a small amount of the brigadeiro mixture into your hands and roll it into a small ball, about 1 inch in diameter.
Place the rolled brigadeiro ball onto a plate or tray.
Pour the vegan chocolate sprinkles into a small bowl. Roll each brigadeiro ball in the chocolate sprinkles until it's fully coated.
Transfer each coated brigadeiro onto a serving tray. If desired, place them in small paper cupcake liners for a festive presentation.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
