Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 200g Digestive Biscuits or Graham Crackers, crushed finely
- 3 tablespoons Cocoa Powder
- 1 can (395g) Sweetened Condensed Milk
- 50g Butter or Ghee, softened
Optional Ingredients & Coatings
- Desiccated Coconut (for mixing or rolling)
- Chopped Nuts (almonds, walnuts, pistachios)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (optional)
- Finely Chopped Dates (optional)
- Pinch of Cinnamon, Cardamom, or Nutmeg (optional)
- Mini Dark Chocolate Chips (optional)
Instructions
- Crush the Biscuits: Finely crush digestive biscuits or graham crackers using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and gently crushing with a rolling pin, creating a sandy but slightly coarse texture.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine crushed biscuits, cocoa powder, desiccated coconut or any spices if using. Stir thoroughly to distribute the chocolate evenly.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Warm the butter until soft, then add to the dry ingredient mixture along with the sweetened condensed milk. Fold in vanilla extract or chopped dates if desired. Mix well until the dough is sticky and holds together when pressed.
- Shape Into Balls: Take small amounts of the dough and roll gently between your palms to form bite-sized balls. If mixture is too sticky, refrigerate for 10-15 minutes before rolling.
- Coat the Balls: Roll each ball in desiccated coconut, crushed nuts, or cocoa powder to add texture, prevent sticking, and improve appearance.
Notes
- Check consistency: If too dry, add a tablespoon of condensed milk or butter to bind better.
- Chill mixture before rolling to make shaping easier and prevent crumbling.
- Use shallow bowls or plates for coatings to roll balls evenly.
- Store finished balls on parchment paper to avoid sticking.
- Taste mixture before shaping and adjust sweetness or cocoa as needed.
