Ingredients
2 cans condensed milk
1 level tablespoon margarine
50 g finely grated Parmesan cheese
1 level tablespoon margarine
50 g finely grated Parmesan cheese
Where to find ingredients
Condensed milk and margarine are standard items found in any local supermarket or corner shop. For the Parmesan, look for high-quality blocks in the cheese section of major supermarkets or specialty deli counters; it is best to grate it finely yourself for the smoothest texture. If you are struggling to find specific ingredients for authentic Brazilian recipes, check the 'international' or 'imported goods' aisles of larger supermarkets in Kingston or major towns.
Preparation method
- Combine the condensed milk, margarine, and grated Parmesan in a heavy-bottomed pan
- Place over medium heat and stir constantly with a spatula to ensure it cooks evenly
- Keep stirring until the mixture thickens and pulls away completely from the bottom of the pan
- Pour the mixture onto a plate that has been lightly greased with a thin layer of margarine
- Try to be patient and let the mixture cool down completely at room temperature
- Roll into small balls with hands that have been lightly greased
- Finish by rolling the treats in granulated sugar or shredded coconut, whichever you prefer
- Place each piece in a delicate paper liner before serving
