First, get the nuts ready.
Cut the nuts.
Cut the mixed nuts into small pieces as you like. You can choose to keep some pieces bigger for more texture or chop them finely for a smoother bite.
You can toast the nuts if you want, but it's a good idea.
To add more taste, cook the chopped nuts in a pan without oil on medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring often. This will make their natural taste better and give them a richer, roasted flavor.
Step 2: Mix the nuts with the sweetened condensed milk.
Combine the nuts with the condensed milk.
In a bowl, combine the toasted nuts with the sweetened condensed milk. Mix until the nuts are completely covered with the sweet milk.
Additional ingredients you can choose to include:
If you want, you can put in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and a little bit of salt to make the taste better.
Step 3: Mold or Serve
Can be used as a spread or a snack:
You can serve the mixture as it is, either putting it in small bowls or spreading it on bread, crackers, or fruit slices.
Create Nut Clusters:
Instead, use a spoon to place small amounts of the mixture on a tray lined with parchment paper to create clusters of nuts. Allow them to cool in the refrigerator for around 30 minutes before serving.
Step 4: Relax and Have Fun
Relax (if you want to):
If you like it more solid, put the mixture in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour before eating. This makes the milk thicker and turns the nuts into a firmer texture.
Serve and Enjoy:
Enjoy this fast and delicious treat by itself or with your preferred fruits, crackers, or even as a topping for ice cream.
Different Flavors:
Chocolate Twist: Include 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder in the mix to make a chocolate-flavored version of this dessert.

Dried fruit: Add chopped dried fruits such as raisins, cranberries, or apricots for a chewy texture.
