Pastimallows
Looking for an affordable and easy sweet treat to surprise your kids? Or delicious add ons for your business? Either way, this PastiMallows recipe will not let you down. This confectionery is basically a Pastillas-coated marshmallow that has a very winning taste.
Pastillas de Leche is another proud sweet treat of the Philippines. This treat was first made by carabao-rearing farmers in Bulacan city. Interestingly, because of the overwhelming love for this candy, a celebration called Pastillas Festival was later on established. It is simply a dough-textured small candy made of powdered and condensed milk, but it is very addicting. What more if you eat it with a soft vanilla marshmallow inside? Delightful!
I love making Pastimallows for my nieces and nephews. Sometimes, I use a flavored-marshmallow like chocolate or strawberry. The texture of the Pastillas should be soft and chewy. I am very specific with the milk that I work with, it should have a rich and balanced but not overpowering sweetness. The kids really love it and I always get an adorable small thank-you kiss for it.
