- Mix the Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the powdered milk and sugar. Stir them together to ensure they’re well mixed.
- Add the Wet Ingredients:
- Add the melted butter (or ghee) to the dry ingredients. If you’re using sweetened condensed milk, add it now for extra sweetness and moisture.
- Add vanilla extract and any optional spices like cardamom or cinnamon. Mix well until everything is combined into a smooth, dough-like texture.
- Shape the Balls:
- Once your mixture is fully combined, take small amounts of it and roll them into bite-sized balls with your hands. You can make them as big or small as you like, but typically about 1 inch in diameter works well.
- If you like, roll the balls in extra sugar, chopped nuts, or shredded coconut for added flavor and texture.
- Chill the Balls (Optional):
- While these can be eaten right away, you can chill them in the fridge for 30 minutes to 1 hour to help them firm up a bit more, especially if you’re making them ahead of time.
- Serve:
- Serve the powdered milk balls as a snack or dessert. They can be stored in an airtight container for a few days.
Optional Variations:
- Cocoa Powder: For a chocolate version, add 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder to the dry mixture before adding the wet ingredients.
- Nut Butter: Add a spoonful of peanut butter, almond butter, or cashew butter to make the balls creamier and give them a richer flavor.
- Dried Fruits: Incorporate chopped dried fruits like raisins, cranberries, or apricots for a chewy texture.
