Ingredients

  • Small can of sweetened condensed milk
  • 5 tablespoons powdered sugar

Method

  1. Mix the ingredients well in two separate bowls. In the first bowl, mix the condensed milk and powdered sugar. In the second bowl, mix the same ingredients, then add the cocoa powder to get the chocolate brown color.
  2. Place both mixtures in two separate piping bags as well. You can use pastry bags or slightly thick sandwich bags...
  3. Cut the tip of the bag with scissors so you can pipe. You can draw directly on the sweet, or on a sheet of parchment paper. However, the mixture needs almost a full night to dry...
  4. You can prepare the shapes you want in advance and keep them until it is time to decorate the sweets.
