Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 1/2 cups powdered milk (or full cream powdered milk)
- 1/2 cup crushed cookies (like Oreos or chocolate wafer cookies)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for coating)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, pour the sweetened condensed milk. Add the powdered milk gradually, stirring constantly until a dough-like consistency forms.
- Incorporate the cookies: Stir in the crushed cookies, making sure they are evenly mixed into the pastillas mixture. If desired, add vanilla extract for extra flavor.
- Shape the pastillas: Scoop small portions of the mixture and roll them into small balls or log shapes using your hands.
- Coat with powdered sugar: Roll the shaped pastillas in powdered sugar to coat them evenly.
- Chill and serve: Allow the pastillas to chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes to set and firm up before serving.
- Serve: Serve these creamy and delicious Cookies and Cream Pastillas at room temperature or chilled. Enjoy the crunchy and creamy contrast in every bite!
Notes
- You can use any cookies of your choice, but Oreos work great for the classic cookies and cream flavor.
- For a softer consistency, use a little less powdered milk, and for a firmer pastillas, add more.
- Feel free to add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness of the candy.
- For a more festive touch, you can drizzle melted chocolate over the pastillas before serving.
