Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Sri Lankan Milk Toffee Treat.
Step 1
Begin by greasing a 9-inch square baking pan with a couple of teaspoons of butter to ensure your toffee releases easily later.
Step 2
In a spacious saucepan, combine white sugar and water over medium heat, stirring continuously until the sugar dissolves completely.
Step 3
Once the sugar has melted into a syrup, introduce the sweetened condensed milk, stirring frequently as the mixture begins to bubble—this should take about five minutes.
Step 4
Lower the heat and fold in finely chopped cashew nuts, stirring often until the mixture thickens, which will take around ten minutes.
Step 5
Next, blend in two tablespoons of butter, along with vanilla and rose extracts, continuing to cook and stir until the mixture becomes very stiff, approximately eight to ten more minutes.
Step 6
Pour this luscious, thickened concoction into your prepared baking pan, using a spatula or the back of a spoon to spread it evenly.
Step 7
Allow the toffee to cool and firm up for about fifteen minutes.
Step 8
Once set, slice it into delightful one-inch pieces and store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
Step 9
Enjoy the sweet, nutty goodness of your homemade toffee!.
