Ingredients:
1 tbsp
Unsalted Butter1 cup
Confectioners SugarDirections:
1
Thoroughly butter a plastic tray or cutting board and set aside
2
In a small heavy saucepan, combine the condensed milk and butter and cook over very low heat on a heatproof pad, stirring frequently, for about 15 minutes, until the mixture thickens
3
Use a rubber spatula to reach all the way into the corners of the pan so that none of the mixture scorches, as it is very delicate and easy to burn
4
If it seems to be getting too hot, remove it from the heat for 30 seconds to cool slightly
5
When the mixture is quite thick, remove from the heat and cool for about 25 minutes, then stir in the coconut
6
Using a tiny ice cream scoop (about 1 1/2 tablespoons capacity) or 2 teaspoons, scoop out little balls one by one and immediately drop them into a bowl of confectioners sugar
7
Roll around gently to coat them evenly and transfer to the buttered tray
8
Continue until you have used all the mixture and then stud each smooch with 2 or 3 cloves

Store in a tightly covered container
