🛒 Ingredients

15 servings

15
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 oz / 395 g)
  • 4 tablespoons whole milk powder
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • Extra milk powder for coating

Directions

  1. 1

    In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Pour in the condensed milk and gradually whisk in the milk powder, stirring constantly to keep the mixture smooth and lump-free.

  2. 2

    Cook over medium heat, stirring without stopping, until the mixture thickens and pulls away cleanly from the sides and bottom of the pan, about 8–10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Transfer to a lightly buttered plate and let cool at room temperature for 20–30 minutes, until firm enough to handle.

  4. 4

    Lightly butter your hands to prevent sticking. Using a spoon, scoop small, even portions and roll them into smooth balls between your palms.

  5. 5

    Roll each truffle in milk powder spread on a flat plate until evenly coated. Set in paper candy cups and refrigerate until ready to serve.

💡 Chef's Tip

Switch up the coating with shredded coconut, powdered sugar, or rainbow sprinkles for a festive twist. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
