Ingredients
2 cans of sweetened condensed milk
1 level tablespoon of margarine
50g finely grated Parmesan cheese
1 level tablespoon of margarine
50g finely grated Parmesan cheese
Where to find ingredients
You can find sweetened condensed milk in the baking aisle of any major supermarket. For the best result, choose a high-quality aged Parmesan from the deli section and grate it finely yourself. As a substitute, you may use butter instead of margarine for a richer flavour.
Preparation method
- Combine the condensed milk, margarine, and grated Parmesan in a heavy-based saucepan.
- Place over medium heat and stir constantly with a spatula to ensure even cooking.
- Continue stirring until the mixture thickens and begins to pull away completely from the bottom of the saucepan.
- Pour the mixture onto a plate that has been lightly greased with a thin layer of margarine.
- Exercise some patience and allow the mixture to cool completely at room temperature.
- Shape into small, uniform balls using lightly greased hands.
- Finish by rolling the bites in caster sugar or desiccated coconut, according to your preference.
- Place each piece into delicate paper petit four cases to serve.
