Musk Sticks
One serving has 94 kcal. Ready in 20 minutes.

- Preparation: 20 min
- Makes: 1 serving (22 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegetarian, Gluten-free, Low carb
- Contains: dairy
Ingredients
- 14 g Sugar, powdered
- 3 g Coconut oil
- 4 g Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 g Water
Method
- Soften the coconut oil slightly, then work it into the powdered sugar with your fingers until crumbly.
- Add the condensed milk and the water — the water carries a few drops of musk essence, or rosewater if musk essence isn't available — and knead to a smooth, firm fondant, adding a touch more powdered sugar if it's sticky.
- Tint pale pink with a little food colouring if using, then roll into a thin log about 1 cm across.
- Cut into short sticks and leave uncovered for an hour or two to firm up before serving.
- Makes 1 stick from this amount; multiply everything by 20 and roll a longer log for a full batch.
