Equipment
- White paper, cut into 1-½ inch squares
- colored Japanese paper, cut into 2-inch squares
Ingredients
- 1 can (14 ounces) dulce de leche
- 1 ¾ cups powdered full cream milk (I used Nido)
- ¼ cup dry roasted peanuts, chopped
- ½ cup sugar
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine dulce de leche, full cream milk and peanuts. With a spoon, stir together until well-combined. Refrigerate for about 10 to 15 minutes to firm up a bit for easier handling.
- Scoop about ½ teaspoon and roll into smooth balls about ½-inch diameter. Or roll into 1-inch long logs. Roll pastillas in sugar until fully coated.
- Wrap each pastillas with a piece of white paper (resulting into a "tube") and then wrap with the colored Japanese paper. Insert the sides of the Japanese paper into the white paper "tube" to completely seal pastillas.
Notes
You can also store the pastillas mixture and shape and roll it when ready to serve. Transfer to an airtight container and press a sheet of plastic wrap on the surface of the mixture to prevent a film from forming. Refrigerate for up to 3 days.
