RECIPE NOTES & TIPS
Ingredients Info:
- plain sweet biscuits - also known as cookies in the US. I generally use Arnott's Marie biscuits which are popular in Australia, but you can use absolutely any kind of plain sweet biscuit/cookie you like.
- sweetened condensed milk - I recommend using full fat sweetened condensed milk (not skim or light). I like to use Nestle brand as I find it sets firmer than the home brand versions.
- desiccated coconut - this is a fine dry coconut (not shedded or flaked). It is used in both the Milo Balls mixture as well as for coating the balls.
- Milo - a malted milk powder produced by Nestle. This can be replaced with any brand of malted milk powder - including homebrand, Ovaltine or Horlicks).
- Crushing the biscuits - if you don't have a food processor or Thermomix, you can always use a rolling pin or something heavy to crush them. My secret tip is to roughly break the biscuits up, put them in a plastic bag, then crush with the rolling pin. Then you can tip the crumbs straight into your bowl.
- Combining the mixture - I recommend combining the mixture using your hands... it's messy but it's quick and easy!
- Storing - store the Milo Balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
- Freezing - freeze any leftover Milo Balls in an airtight container for up to 1 month.
