Ingredients
- 200g (7oz) milk powder
- 150ml carton double cream

- 1tsp ground nutmeg

Method
- Mix the milk powder and double cream in a bowl until it forms a thick and crumbly paste.
- Heat the butter or ghee over a low heat for a couple of minutes, stir in the nutmeg and pistachio and toast for a few minutes.
- Add the cream mixture and the condensed milk; the mixture will be solid to start with and will soften as you continue to heat it. Keep stirring until the mixture starts to come away from the sides.

- Allow to cool and then cut into square shapes
