Vegetable oil is a cost-effective alternative for cooking.

Put 1 liter of milk in a pot and bring it to a boil.

Add sweet pepper and cinnamon in a cloth bag or directly into the milk.

Add 1 pound of sugar to the boiling milk and stir.

Boil the mixture on high heat for about 50 minutes to 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks until well mixed without any lumps.

Once the milk is boiling, slowly add the beaten egg yolks in a thin stream while stirring continuously.

Cook the mixture on low heat until it thickens, approximately 40 minutes, stirring constantly.

Remove the spice bag from the mixture once it has thickened.

Let the mixture cool down before handling it.

Once cooled, knead the mixture with a little powdered sugar on your hands to prevent sticking.

Form small balls from the mixture, making them not too large.

If the mixture feels dry, it can still be worked with and will soften when kneaded.

Roll the balls in powdered sugar for presentation.

Wrap the balls in cellophane or similar wrapping, sealing them well.
