East Indian Milk Cream – Christmas Milk Fudge Recipe
The East Indian milk cream is quite simply a milk fudge traditionally made during Christmas. Like all fudge recipes, this involves some labor of love so be prepared to stir milk and sugar over low heat until it reaches a thick paste-like consistency.
As a kid milk cream and marzipan are probably my absolute favorite Christmas sweets. These are sweet, milky and absolutely delicious. Sitting with mom and filling these into molds was a fun project because the treats were always spare milk cream bites.
If you are looking to make a quick version of the milk cream then you can use the Milk Cream with Condensed milk method too.
The main difference between the traditional milk cream vs the milk cream with condensed milk is the color. The color of the milk cream will depend on the color of your condensed milk and how you cook it down further. Condensed milk is usually not white but already cream in color. So your milk cream will be creamier.
But with this traditional milk cream method, you start with milk you can as your base which is white. So if you be patient and stir slowly preventing it from scorching at the bottom you can have a fairly white milk cream.
Another thing you can do to reduce the cream color is to use white butter, not yellow butter such as Amul butter which is dyed with yellow.
