Directions
- 1
Combine the condensed milk, butter, milk powder, and heavy cream in a non-stick saucepan over medium heat.
- 2
Stir constantly with a wooden or silicone spatula, scraping the bottom and sides to prevent sticking.

Cook for 10–12 minutes until the mixture thickens and pulls away cleanly from the sides and bottom of the pan, forming a soft dough.

Transfer to a lightly buttered plate and allow to cool completely at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
- 5
With lightly greased hands, roll into 1-inch balls and coat in granulated sugar or shredded coconut if desired.
