Ingredients

2 cups (220 g) dry whole milk
3 1/4 cups (390 g) confectioners' sugar
14 oz (397 g - 1 can) sweetened condensed milk
55 – 60 cloves (optional but highly recommended)

Instructions

Mix dry milk and confectioners' sugar in a medium bowl; mix until well combined.
Add sweetened condensed milk and stir with a spatula until smooth and firm. You may need to knead by hand to achieve a smooth texture.
Using your hands, roll into balls. NOTE: you can make them as big or small as you want. Mine were about 2 teaspoon-sized each. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Add a clove on top (center)of each Papita de Leche (milk truffle), if desired, and enjoy.

Notes

STORE: Store the milk truffles in a sealed container for up to 7 days. You can also store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Bring a room temperature before serving.

DRY MILK: dry powdered milk can be found in most grocery stores or online. This is the one I use.

QUICK TIPS:

If you don’t want to use cloves to top off the truffles, you can serve them plain or add other coatings. See my favorites coating ideas below.
Use a cookie scoop to easily portion out the truffles evenly.
Dust your hands with confectioner’s sugar to make the rolling process easier.
Be sure to store these Papitas de Leche in a dry, sealed container like Tupperware or a glass jar.
They’re perfect for gatherings, get-togethers, reunions, and even as a gift idea. Wrap these milk truffles in cellophane and pack them in cute boxes or baskets…Voilà! The perfect edible gift.
