Papitas de Leche
Papitas de Leche
Papitas de leche translates to “little milk potatoes”; but they contain no potato of any sort. These milk truffles are popular throughout Venezuela; eaten during special occasions. They only contain 4 ingredients: powdered milk, powdered sugar, sweetened condensed milk, and whole cloves. The dairy and the sugar form a dough, get rolled into small balls, then studded with a clove. The papitas are reminiscent of nougat, guaranteed to make these a hit at every party.
