Ingredients
For the Malai Peda:
- 1 cup Milk
- 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
- 1/2 cup Milk Powder
- 14 oz Sweetened Milk (1 can), condensed
- 2 Limes juiced
- 1 tsp Corn Flour
- 2 tbsp Ghee for greasing
Optional Garnish:
- Pistachios chopped, as needed

Instructions
Prepare the Peda Mixture
- Combine whole milk, heavy cream, milk powder, sweetened condensed milk, lime juice, and cornstarch in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Whisk until completely smooth, ensuring there are no lumps.
Cook the Mixture
- Heat the saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly. The mixture will gradually thicken. Continue to stir to prevent sticking and burning, this process will take approximately 25-30 minutes. The mixture is ready when it begins to leave the sides of the pan and pulls away cleanly.
Shape and Cool
- Lightly grease a plate or tray with ghee. Pour the cooked peda mixture onto the prepared surface. Allow it to cool completely to room temperature. Once cool, you can use your hands to shape the mixture into small, square or round pedas. For decorative purposes you can use peda stamps or stencils.
Garnish and Serve
- Once the pedas have fully set, garnish as desired with chopped pistachios or cardamom powder. Serve and enjoy your homemade Malai Pedas!
