Simmer butter and milk in a sauce pan, when it reduces to half, add the sugar and cook till it dissolves.

Now add the Almond Meal, desiccated coconut, vanilla essence and let the mixture thicken over very low flame and starts leaving the sides of the pan (about 6-8 mins).

If using Condensed milk, there is no need to heat it, just mix it with ingredients from step 2 above along with the melted butter

Let it cool for 1-2 mins.

Pinch out a little dough at a time (the almond meal and the butter will leave behind lots of grease at this stage, so no need to grease your palms)

If you don't want to use your hands, use an ice cream scooper to divide the portions and gently roll

Shape into a small ball & roll it in desiccated coconut (add a drop of colour to part of the coconut if you wish to)  and top with a clove.

Place in individual paper liners and serve at a kids' party :)
