Directions
- 1
Combine the condensed milk, butter, and gelatin powder in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over low heat.
- 2
Stir continuously with a spatula until the mixture thickens and pulls cleanly away from the sides and bottom of the pan.
- 3
Pour into a lightly buttered dish and let cool at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes, until firm enough to handle.
- 4
With lightly buttered hands, roll small portions of the mixture into smooth, even balls.
- 5
Roll each ball generously in crystal sugar until completely coated.
- 6
Press one whole clove into the top of each candy and allow to cool fully before serving or storing.
💡 Chef's Tip
Bold-flavored gelatins like strawberry, grape, or passion fruit give the most vibrant color and taste. Rolling each ball twice in crystal sugar creates an extra-crunchy shell. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
