Instructions:
-
Combine Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the condensed milk, vanilla essence, and brown sugar. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth. -
-
Add Powdered Milk and Cherries:
Gradually add the powdered milk into the mixture, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Then, gently fold in the sweet cherries until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture. -
Knead the Dough:
Transfer the mixture onto a clean surface dusted lightly with icing sugar. Knead the mixture until it forms a smooth dough consistency. -
Shape the Nougat:
Divide the dough in half. With each half, roll it between your palms to form a rope approximately 2.5cm thick. -
Dust with Icing Sugar:
Sprinkle some extra icing sugar over the rolled dough ropes to prevent sticking. -
Chill the Nougat:
Place the prepared ropes in the refrigerator and allow them to chill until firm. This typically takes around 15-20 minutes. -
Cut into Pieces:
Once the dough is firm, remove it from the refrigerator and cut it into bite-sized pieces, each about 2.5cm in length. -
Storage:
Store the Cherry Nougat Bites in an airtight container and keep them refrigerated. They can last for up to 2 weeks, but they’re so delicious, they may not last that long!
