Method
- Toast the pili nuts lightly, cool completely, and grind in short pulses until fine but not oily.
- Warm condensed milk, butter, sugar, and salt over low heat until smooth.
- Add ground pili and powdered milk and stir until the mixture forms a soft paste that pulls from the pan.
- Cook only 2–4 minutes more; prolonged heat releases too much nut oil.
- Spread on a plate and cool until comfortable to handle.
- Pinch off equal portions and shape into balls or short logs.
- Roll in powdered sugar or finely ground pili.
- Rest 30 minutes before wrapping so the surface dries slightly.
