Pumpkin Brigadeiros - cooking recipe

Ingredients

14 fluid ounces low fat sweetened condensed milk
3/4 cup pure pumpkin puree
1 pinch kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
candy sprinkles, for rolling

Preparation

Mix the condensed milk, pumpkin puree, salt and spice in a saucepan over medium heat.
Cook, stirring almost constantly to avoid burning, until thickened enough that the mixture easily clears the bottom and sides of the pan and barely oozes back to an even layer when stirred - about 10-12 minutes.
Remove from heat and with a sturdy spoon, beat in the vanilla by hand for 2 minutes.
Pour into a wax-paper lined 8\" pan and chill at least 12 hours.
Wet your hands slightly with cold water and shape the candy into 1/2 tbsp sized balls, rolling each in sprinkles before placing into paper candy cups.
Store in the fridge.
