Pastillas de Leche (Milk Candy)
One serving has 255 kcal and 10 g protein, and at least a fifth of a woman's daily need of cobalamin (44%), riboflavin (41%), phosphorus (40%), calcium (33%) and vitamin D (D2 + D3) (21%). Ready in 50 minutes.
- Preparation: 50 min
- Makes: 1 serving (61 g)
- Difficulty: Easy
- Diets: Vegetarian, Gluten-free
- Contains: alcohol, dairy
Ingredients
- 30 g Milk powder, whole
- 20 g Sweetened condensed milk
- 10 g Sugar, powdered
- 1 g Vanilla extract
Method
- This makes about 8 small candies, one serving; multiply the recipe for a bigger batch.
- In a bowl, knead the milk powder, condensed milk and vanilla extract together until you have a smooth, firm dough that no longer sticks to your hands.
- Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes so it firms up and is easier to shape.
- Pinch off small pieces and roll them into little logs about the size of your thumb.
- Roll each log in the powdered sugar until fully coated, then twist it up in a small piece of paper like a wrapped candy.
- Keep refrigerated and eat within a few days, since these are made with dairy and have no preservatives.
