Ingredients

  • 395 g can sweetened condensed milk
  • 20 g unsalted butter
  • 80 g (⅓ cup) strawberry-flavoured jelly crystals
You will need 24 mini patty cases for this recipe.

Instructions

Place condensed milk, butter and 2 tbsp jelly crystals in a saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, for 10 minutes or until mixture thickens and starts to come away from side of pan.

Transfer to a greased plate and cool. Using greased hands, roll teaspoonfuls of mixture into balls, then roll in remaining 2 tbsp jelly crystals. Place in mini patty cases to serve. Store for up to 2 weeks.
