Sweetened condensed milk and cocoa – the perfect combination for a quick, no-bake dessert!

Full List of Ingredients
400 g (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

50 g (1.8 oz) unsalted butter

3 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder (adjust for desired chocolate intensity)

270 g (9.5 oz) plain tea biscuits or sugar cookies, finely crumbled

80 g (¾ cup) sweetened shredded coconut, plus extra for rolling

Step-by-Step Cooking Directions
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk and butter. Stir gently with a heat-proof spatula until the butter fully melts and the mixture becomes smooth and glossy. Avoid boiling; maintain a gentle simmer to prevent scorching.

Remove the pan from heat and sift in the cocoa powder, whisking vigorously to incorporate without lumps. The mixture will thicken slightly as the cocoa absorbs moisture, transforming into a dark-chocolate ganache-like dough.

Transfer this chocolate base into a large mixing bowl. Gradually add the finely crumbled cookies, stirring with a sturdy spoon until the crumbs are evenly coated and the dough holds together when pressed. If the mixture appears too wet, add a bit more cookie crumbs; if too dry, stir in a teaspoon of warm condensed milk.

Stir in 80 g shredded coconut, reserving extra for rolling. The coconut will distribute small flecks of tropical flavor throughout each bite.

Using lightly oiled hands or two small spoons, scoop out level tablespoons of dough and roll between your palms into smooth, uniform balls about 12–15 mm in diameter. Place each truffle on a parchment-lined baking sheet as you form them.

Spread the remaining shredded coconut in a shallow bowl. Gently roll each truffle in the coconut, pressing lightly so the flakes adhere. Return the coated truffles to the lined sheet.

For firmer truffles, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Otherwise, they may be enjoyed immediately at room temperature, where their centers remain luxuriously soft.
