Coconut Chocolate Balls

Coconut is widely used in many Indian mithai and I have added this to give a slight authentic, Indian taste. My brother for one is not a great fan of the traditional Indian mithai and that’s why I thought it would be nice to create something which I know will go down a treat. Chocolate is a great choice for all and I have incorporated that flavour in this sweet dish.

Makes 25 Bite Size Balls or 50 Miniature Balls

 

Ingredients

 

2oz Butter

200g Condensed Milk

2oz Drinking Chocolate

2oz Desiccated Coconut- Reserve some for rolling the balls into

7 Digestive Biscuits- Grinded but not too powdery

Small Handful Raisins

Small Handful Crushed Walnuts

 

Method

 

Put all the dry ingredients into a bowl.

Meanwhile heat the butter in a pan along with the condensed milk and just warm through until the butter has melted. Immediately take off the heat and pour into the dry ingredients. Give this a thorough stir making sure all the ingredients are mixed properly.

Take a small teaspoon of the mixture and put it onto your palms and roll into a ball. Make sure the balls are all small and equal in size; roll each ball onto a small dish with the coconut and make sure the ball is covered all over with the coconut.

Put all the balls onto a tray and leave in the fridge until they have cooled.
