My Muppets had their birthday party today, and I wanted to make something that both the kids and the parents would like. This is a recipe that I have made a number of times before , but this is the first time in the TMX. Its easy, and the Thermomix makes it far less messy than trying to do the whole lot by hand.
Ingredients
1 packet Milk Arrowroot biscuits
1 can condensed milk
20g cocoa powder
120g dessicated coconut
Extra coconut to roll the balls in
Method:
Put the entire packet of biscuits in the bowl and mix on Speed 8 for 8 seconds. Then check the consistency. They should resemble a sandy breadcrumb consistency.
Add cocoa and mix on Reverse Speed 5 for 6 seconds.
Add Coconut and mix on Reverse Speed 5 for 6 seconds.
I used the reverse here, because I didn’t want the biscuits to get anysmaller (or become a powder)
Add the entire can of condensed milk and mix on Reverse Speed 5 for 20 seconds. Scrape down the sides and maybe give a few more seconds just to make sure that everything is combined. You will need to listen to the machine here and see if you need to move to a higher speed because the mixture becomes quite thick and bulky.
Now, its time to get sticky!
Put some extra coconut onto a plate or bowl. Wet your hands, then use a spoon to measure out some of the mixture and roll in your hands to form a ball, then roll them in the coconut .
Once all of t he balls are rolled and coated in coconut, place on a plate and put them in the fridge for 20 minutes or so. You can eat them straight from the fridge or leave them out for a few minutes before serving.
They are a lovely little treat and are enjoyed by kids and parents alike.
Enjoy!
