Best Pastillas De Leche Filipino Milk Candy Recipes
PASTILLAS DE LECHE (FILIPINO MILK CANDIES) RECIPE
Steps:
- In a 10-inch stainless steel skillet, combine milk and heavy cream, and bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally with a rubber spatula to prevent a skin from forming on the sides of the pan. Reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook, stirring and scraping frequently, until mixture is reduced by half, about 30 minutes.
- Add sugar and salt, and stir to combine. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until mixture has reduced to a viscous paste-like consistency (it is ready when you drag the spatula against the bottom of the pan and the milk mixture is slow to fill the space left behind), about 1 hour.
- Transfer to a heatproof medium bowl (you should have about 3/4 cup (6 ounces; 170g) of milk paste), add powdered milk, and stir until thoroughly combined. Continue stirring until no dry powder remains, and a sticky dough forms, about 30 seconds. Let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours.
- Lightly grease your hands with cooking spray, and transfer chilled dough to a clean cutting board. Using your hands, roll dough into a roughly 5-inch long cylinder. Using a paring knife or bench scraper, divide cylinder in half crosswise. Roll each piece into a 5-inch long cylinder. Divide each cylinder into 8 equal portions (1/2 ounce; 15g each). Using your hands, roll each portion between your palms into a 2-inch long cylinder. At this point, pastillas can be transferred to an airtight container and refrigerated for up to 1 week until ready to serve.
- When you are ready to serve, place 1/2 cup sugar (4 ounces; 115g) in a wide, shallow bowl. Add up to 4 pastillas at a time to the bowl and shake to coat pieces on all sides with sugar. Transfer sugar-coated pastillas to a serving plate, and repeat coating process with remaining pastillas. Serve.
