Easy Fried Milk
This is my take on the famous Cantonese Fried Milk dessert. Instead of coating the milk in panko breadcrumbs, I like to wrap it with spring roll wrappers. It is crispier and a little easier to make. I love to dip these in a side of sweetened condensed milk.
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 400 ml canned coconut milk
- ½ cup cornstarch (plus more for sealing the spring rolls)
- ⅓ cup sugar
- ¼ teaspoon coarse kosher salt
- spring roll wrappers
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (for serving)
Instructions
- Combine the milk, coconut milk, cornstarch, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan. Heat it over medium-high heat and stir constantly until it is thickened. It should have the consistency of a thick pudding.
- Put a little bit of oil on a paper towel and grease the inside of a rectangular container. Pour the milk mixture into the container and use a spatula to smooth out the surface. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow the mixture to solidify.
- When the milk mixture is solidified, invert it onto a cutting board, and cut it into small sticks about ½ an inch wide. Now it is time to wrap milk. Before starting, combine 1 teaspoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water. We will use this to help seal the spring rolls.
- Place a spring roll wrapper with one corner facing away from you. Place a milk stick approximately two inches from the corner. Begin rolling from the corner nearest to you. When the bottom corner goes over the filling, fold in the sides. Continue rolling until you reach the end, but before sealing the roll, lightly dampen the remaining area with cornstarch water to help it stick. Seal the roll. Repeat with another wrapper to double-wrap it.
- Heat about 1 inch of oil to 350°F. Fry 6-8 rolls at a time, gently stirring them for about 1-2 minutes until they are golden brown. If any milk custard begins to leak out, remove them immediately. Transfer to a wire rack to drain excess oil. Serve with a side of sweetened condensed milk. Enjoy!
