Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make candy cow at home? Prepare your food. The final result will depend on their quality, so choose natural dairy products without plant additives. How to choose dishes for cooking, read the article at the end of this recipe.

Step 2

Step 2
Take a saucepan with a thick bottom — it is important that the candy mass is heated evenly. I will be cooking the cow with caramel to give the candy some color. To do this, part of the sugar will need to be turned into caramel. If you want light candy, skip this step. Pour 100 grams of sugar into a saucepan. Place it on low heat. Melt the sugar until it becomes caramel. There is no need to stir it, just shake the pan slightly.

Step 3

Step 3
When the sugar has completely melted and acquired a caramel color, add the remaining sugar and milk. Warm is better, as temperature changes can cause the caramel to harden, as happened to me. This is not scary, with further heating everything will melt. Add butter and condensed milk to the saucepan.

Step 4

Step 4
Cook the milk mass over low heat with constant stirring for 20-30 minutes. Be careful, the caramel is very hot, donʼt get burned. It is better to take a wooden spatula; silicone may not withstand high temperatures.

Step 5

Step 5
The mass will gradually boil down, thicken and darken. This will be a sign that she is ready.

Step 6

Step 6
Remove the saucepan from the heat and cool slightly. Beat the mixture with a mixer. It will have to thicken even more. Mine didn’t want to thicken for a long time, I beat it for about 5 minutes.

Step 7

Step 7
Take a mold measuring 20*20cm. Cover it with cling film. Pour the candy mixture into the mold. Cool it to room temperature on the counter, then put it in the refrigerator. The mixture will harden in the refrigerator and can be cut with a knife.

Step 8

Step 8
If the caramel does not want to harden in the refrigerator, then take it out and leave it in the open air for a day — the candies will become hard. Take out the frozen layer and cut it into candy-sized pieces with a knife.

Step 9

Step 9
Serve the cow candies made with milk and condensed milk, made with your own hands, to the table. Bon appetit!
