Cómo hacer Manjar Guatemalteco 🇬🇹

Combine milk, sugar, and a pinch of salt in a saucepan over medium heat.

Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to simmer.

In a separate bowl, mix cornstarch with a little water to create a slurry.

Slowly add the cornstarch mixture to the simmering milk, stirring constantly.

Add vanilla extract, cinnamon, cloves, and lime and orange zests to the mixture.

Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens, about 10-15 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in butter until melted and fully incorporated.

Fold in chopped walnuts, raisins, and coconut until evenly distributed.

Pour the mixture into a greased mold or dish and let it cool to room temperature.

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set.

Once set, cut into squares or desired shapes.

Melt chocolate in a double boiler or microwave, then drizzle over the cut pieces.

Serve chilled or at room temperature, garnished with additional nuts or coconut if desired.
