The origin of the cajeta de leche Nica is not known for sure, however we know that it is a sweet that is usually made in large quantities in the departments of Masaya, Carazo and Granada.
Here we will show you how to make one of the gastronomic delights of Nicaragua:
Ingredients
- 1lt of milk
- 1 1/2 cups of sugar
- 4 cinnamon sticks
- 2 ounces of rice
Preparation
- Pour the milk into a hole, add sugar and cinnamon
- We keep the mixture moving while we wait for the cooking
- After the milk has been reduced by 1/3, add the rice, which should be washed and liquefied with a little water.
- We continue to move our mixture until we get the texture of the box (somewhat chewy)
- In a container we let it cool down so that we can give round shapes to our rich nica boxes.
