Hi Sara,
I donot have milk powder, can i add more milk to substitute it ? If yes how much more milk i should add.
Thanks
Swapna
Hi Swapna, Milk powder is main ingredient in this recipe to achieve fluffiness and taste. I hope extra milk wont work here for this recipe instead of milk powder.
Or you can follow the recipe in below link by replacing cocoa powder with same amount of flour and mango pulp with strawberry puree..
