Pastillas de Leche literally means "milk piece" in english, they are milk candies that are very popular here in the Philippines, along with Polvorons. Almost every child here have eaten at least one of these. They are traditionally made with carabao milk [water buffalo] and sugar. But I made them the simpler way.
A sponge cupcake soaked in evaporated milk, condensed milk, and cream mixture and whipped cream frosting. The milk goes so well with the sponge cake, you will forget about all the calories each of these have. But let us not talk about calories and focus on these delicious treats. Perfect for Cinco de Mayo along with Polvoron [Mexican Wedding Cookies], or better yet, Polvoron Cupcakes.
