No-cook Caramel Pastillas<\/strong> are super easy to make and taste amazing! They're soft and silky with some peanut crunch and loads of dulce de leche flavor. Perfect for a quick treat or holiday gift-giving!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"No-Cook<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n

On my pastillas de leche<\/a> recipe post, a reader was kind enough to share his no-cook version, which uses condensed and full-cream powdered milk.<\/span> Pastillas without the cooking time? I was duly intrigued.  These milk candies like pastillas de ube<\/a> are my favorite treats, and if I can enjoy a batch with less work, I am all for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, the day I wanted to try these no-cook pastillas, I didn't have condensed milk. Fortunately, I did find deep in the pantry a lone can of dulce de leche, which I meant to use for something but had forgotten. This should work, I thought. After all, dulce de leche is nothing more than sweetened milk that's slowly heated until it changes color and flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And work it did! The resulting no-cook caramel pastillas were delicious beyond my expectations. They were soft and silky and absolutely amazing. The chopped peanuts I added didn't hurt either, as they gave the otherwise chewy candies a delightful crunch. You need to try these caramel pastillas ASAP, like, right now. Super easy to make, they can be a fun kitchen activity for the whole family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
