🛒 Ingredients

30 servings

30
  • 1¾ cups whole milk powder
  • 1¾ cups powdered sugar, sifted (plus extra if needed)
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • Gel food coloring in assorted colors

Directions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, whisk together the milk powder and sifted powdered sugar until evenly combined.

  2. 2

    Add the sweetened condensed milk and knead with your hands until a smooth, pliable dough forms that no longer sticks to your palms.

  3. 3

    If the dough is too sticky, gradually add more powdered sugar, a tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a firm yet moldable consistency.

  4. 4

    Divide the dough into equal portions and knead a different gel food coloring into each one until the color is fully uniform.

  5. 5

    Shape each colored portion into your desired forms — round balls, flowers, hearts, animals, or any fun shape you like.

  6. 6

    Arrange on a parchment-lined tray and allow to set at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.

💡 Chef's Tip

Roll the shaped fondants in granulated sugar or desiccated coconut for added texture and visual appeal. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
