How to Make Milk Cream Sweets for Christmas
- Boil milk in a heavy bottom pan stirring continuously with a wooden spatula on high flame till milk reduces to ½.
- Add powdered sugar and keep stirring till sugar melts. Stir on medium to high flame.
- When sugar has melted add powdered cashew nuts and butter and continue to stir. Reduce the flame to avoid sticking.
- When milk cream starts leaving the vessel, add vanilla essence and put down from fire and spread on a flat dish. Allow it to cool.
- Knead the milk cream lightly. Shape in rubber moulds and allow it to dry overnight and then transfer into an airtight container.
Notes
- To check if the milk cream is done, drop a little mixture in a cup of cold water and check if it forms a ball. If not, continue cooking for a few more minutes.
- Always use a wooden spoon to stir
- Use powdered sugar only. I am using less sugar but you could add 250 grams as per the traditional recipe.
- To get the best results use full-fat milk.
- You can reduce the amount of cashew nut powder to 100 gms. I prefer to use 150 gms for 1 liter of milk.
