🛒 Ingredients

10 servings

10
  • 120 g (4 oz) full-fat powdered milk
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk (397 g / 14 oz)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 pinch of fine salt

Directions

  1. 1

    Sift the powdered milk onto a clean work surface or into a large mixing bowl to prevent lumps.

  2. 2

    Add the granulated sugar and salt, then mix the dry ingredients together with your fingertips until combined.

  3. 3

    Gradually pour in the sweetened condensed milk while incorporating the powder with your hands.

  4. 4

    Knead the mixture for 2–3 minutes until you achieve a smooth, pliable paste that doesn't stick to your hands.

💡 Chef's Tip

If the paste is too sticky, add more powdered milk a little at a time. If too dry, add a few drops of condensed milk. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. Try adding vanilla extract or cocoa powder for a fun twist.
