About Dous Makos
Chef Auguste Ephessien presents dous makòs as a classic Haitian milk fudge associated with Petit-Goâve. Its layered appearance is one of the sweet’s familiar identifying features.
Whole milk, sweetened condensed milk, butter and sugar give the fudge its rich base. Vanilla, star-anise extract, nutmeg and cinnamon supply its aromatic flavour.
Vertical slices reveal the contrasting layers. Cocoa supplies the brown portion, with red colouring offered for another stripe, while the finished sweet has a firm, sliceable yet melting texture.
