Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup macapuno preserves
- 1 cup cornstarch
- 1 cup water
- 1 small can condense milk 168 ml
- Skimmed milk for coating
Instructions
- Using a fine-mesh sieve or colander, drain the macapuno preserve. Pour about 2 cups of water over it to remove some of the heavy syrup.
- In a saucepan, combine the cornstarch and water. Make sure to dissolve the cornstarch by whisking and mixing well. Add the condensed milk and macapuno to the slurry.
- Cook over medium-low heat and stir until the mixture thickens. Cook, stirring regularly, until the mixture separates from the pan and forms a sticky dough. Remove from heat and let it cool down.
- Once fully cooled down, put some oil on your hands to prevent the dough from sticking. Scoop about a tablespoon from the dough and roll them into balls.
- On another plate, place powdered skim milk. Roll the balls in the powdered milk until fully coated.
- Wrap individually in colored cellophane or pack in small containers or bags.
