Ingredients
1 can of sweetened condensed milk
1 tablespoon of butter or margarine for a glossy, smooth finish
3 tablespoons of cocoa powder (or high-quality chocolate powder)
1 tablespoon of butter or margarine for a glossy, smooth finish
3 tablespoons of cocoa powder (or high-quality chocolate powder)
Where to find ingredients
Condensed milk and cocoa powder can be found in the baking or shelf-stable dairy aisles of most supermarkets in Ghana, such as Shoprite or Melcom. If you cannot find high-quality cocoa powder, regular chocolate-flavored beverage mix is a common, albeit sweeter, substitute.
Preparation method
- Place the butter in a heavy-bottomed pan and allow it to melt over medium heat.
- Add the condensed milk and the cocoa powder to the pan.
- Stir the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Continue to cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to pull away from the bottom of the pan, which should take roughly 10 to 15 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly before serving.

Its soft, spoonable consistency and distinct flavor profile have made it a beloved staple that appeals to both children and adults alike.
