Colombian Natilla Recipe | Holiday Recipe

• 9 cups of milk (1.33 L, one milk bag)
• 3-a cinnamon sticks
• Sticks of cloves
• 2 cups of cornstarch
• 2 1/2 cups milk
• 2 tablespoons of butter
• 1 1/2 cups of sugar
• 1 can of condensed milk.

1. Add the 9 cups of milk, cinnamon, and cloves together in a pot. Turn on the stove medium-high. Mix, bring to a boil.
2. In a mixing bowl mix together the cornstarch and the rest of the milk. Add to the pot when it starts to boil, mix. Take out the cinnamon/cloves if wished.
3. Add the butter, sugar and condensed milk. Mix well, lower temperature to low-medium. Stir it with a wooden spoon. Stirring, so it doesn’t stick to the pot, until it thickens, about 5-8minutes.
4. After it thickens pour it into the 9×13 inch baking dish. Let it cool until firm. Refrigerate for 2 hours before serving.
5. Cut, serve and enjoy.

Note: I updated it to 1 1/2C sugar for it was too sweet. You could add less if wished, or more depending on your taste buds.

*Tip* Before pouring mixture into the dish, rinse the dish but do not dry it so the natilla won’t stick to the dish.

• You can pour it into individual size bowls if wished.
• Raisins or shredded coconut can be added for a better taste/look. 1/2C if desired

*Bonus tip*  Refrain from taking a spoon and eating the mixture when ready to pour into the dish. 😄

I really hope you enjoy this recipe and grow to love it like we do in our household. It is easy, but the hardest part is the stirring.
