Making Miha's candies
1. Preparing the ingredients
Start by gathering all the ingredients on your work surface. Make sure the butter is soft by leaving it at room temperature for an hour before you start. This will help with the blending of the mixture.

2. Mixing the ingredients
In a food processor, combine the powdered milk, powdered sugar, coconut, and soft butter. Turn the processor on at medium speed until all ingredients are evenly blended. You will notice that the mixture becomes quite thick.

3. Adding the cream
Add the 3 tablespoons of liquid cream and continue mixing. If you find that the mixture is too thick and hard to shape, don't hesitate to add 1-2 additional tablespoons of liquid cream until you achieve a suitable consistency for shaping.

4. Forming the balls
Once you have a homogeneous mixture, take a portion of the mixture and shape it into balls about 2-3 cm in diameter. Don't worry if they aren't perfect; the charm of these candies lies in their imperfections!

5. Rolling in coconut
After shaping all the balls, place the coconut in a bowl and roll each candy in it, ensuring it is evenly coated. This step not only adds a beautiful appearance but also a delicious flavor.

6. Cooling
Place the candies in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes so they firm up a bit. This will make them easier to serve and eat.

Miha's candies can be served as is or accompanied by a cup of coffee or flavored tea. You can also try personalizing them by adding other ingredients such as:
