Lolly Cake Balls

Everyone loves lolly cake. It's what our mums used to get us whenever they dragged us into some cafe so they could sit around being boring with their friends. Just like goody gumdrops ice cream, it was two treats in one - cake and candy! Also, it is ridiculously easy to make.

All you need is:

250g Malt Biscuits, crushed

50g Butter, melted

200ml Condensed Milk

100g (ish) Fruit Puffs or Eskimos, roughly chopped

Dessicated Coconut

Now, this would be a lot easier if I could find the lid for my food processor... but I can't so I will have to resort to putting the biscuits in a plastic bag (double bag in case of splitting) and bashing them with a bottle (thank you Jameson). 

As you can see my biscuit crumbs are still a little chunky but not to worry, I just give them a blitz with a stick blender after I add the wet ingredients. 

Mix the butter and condensed milk in with the crushed biscuits. If the mixture is too dry, add more melted butter 25g at a time until moist and easy to combine. Then add your lollies. As many as you can get into the mix, or as few if that's what you prefer. 

Now all that's left is to roll the mix into small balls, roll them though the coconut and put in the fridge for an hour or so until set. If you prefer, this recipe works just as well as a slice, just roll into a log or press into a cake tin, cover in coconut and set before slicing.
