Directions
- 1
In a large bowl, whisk together the milk powder and powdered sugar. Pour in the sweetened condensed milk gradually, stirring and folding until a dough begins to form.
- 2
Turn the dough onto a clean surface and knead by hand for 5–10 minutes until the paste is smooth, soft, and elastic — it should feel similar to store-bought fondant.
- 3
To color the paste, add a few drops of food coloring and knead firmly until the color is completely even throughout.
- 4
Dust a clean work surface with powdered sugar and roll out the paste to your desired thickness using a rolling pin.
- 5
Drape the rolled paste over your cake, smooth it down gently, and use any remaining paste to shape decorative figures or patterns.
💡 Chef's Tip
Wrap unused paste tightly in plastic wrap and store at room temperature for up to 3 days. If it hardens, knead in a few drops of condensed milk to restore elasticity before use.
