Method
Preparation of Nieve
Combine Ingredients
In a saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to ensure that the cornstarch is fully dissolved.
Cook the Mixture
Place the saucepan over medium heat and continuously stir the mixture until it thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Once thickened, remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
Chill the Mixture
Pour the thickened mixture into a container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.
Frying
Prepare Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat the frying oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Scoop and Fry
Using a spoon or scoop, take portions of the chilled nieve mixture and gently drop them into the hot oil. Fry in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry Until Golden
Fry each portion for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown on all sides. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried nieve and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
