Ingredients
2 cans condensed milk
1 slightly rounded tablespoon margarine
50g finely grated Parmesan cheese
1 slightly rounded tablespoon margarine
50g finely grated Parmesan cheese
Where to find ingredients
Condensed milk is widely available in any grocery store, typically found in the baking aisle. For margarine, standard stick or tub varieties found in the dairy aisle are perfect. For the Parmesan, look for high-quality, authentic Parmigiano-Reggiano or standard finely grated Parmesan in the specialty cheese section of your supermarket; avoid the canned, shelf-stable versions for the best flavor and texture.
Preparation method
- Combine the condensed milk, margarine, and grated Parmesan in a heavy-bottomed saucepan
- Place over medium heat and stir constantly with a spatula to ensure an even cook
- Continue 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 very thin layer of margarine
- Exercise some patience and let the mixture cool completely at room temperature
- Form small balls with your hands, keeping your palms lightly greased to prevent sticking
- Finish by rolling the balls in granulated sugar or shredded coconut, according to your preference
- Place each piece in a delicate paper candy cup for serving
