Ingredients: 

• 25 digestive biscuits (360g approx) crushed/blitzed into fine crumbs  
• 50-g melted butter  
• 1 tin 400g condensed milk  
• 25 marshmallows (7g x 25) (large ones or can use mini marshmallows)  
• 100g Desiccated coconut (optional)  
• 25 glace cherries or a handful white chocolate buttons  

 

Equipment:  

• Scales  
• Mixing bowl  
• Wooden spoon  
• Food processor or a food bag and rolling pin (to bash the digestive biscuits)  
• Cup/bowl for the microwave for the butter or a small saucepan for the hob  
• Tin foil or cling film  
• Knife  

 

Method: 

1. In a large bowl add the blitzed up or crushed digestives and add the melted butter and mix. 

2. Then add in the melted butter and stir until all the digestive crumbs are coated. 

3. Add the condensed milk until everything is combined well together.  

4. Then add in the marshmallows and cherries/white chocolate buttons.  

5. Mix until all the other ingredients are evenly distributed.  

6. Sprinkle half of the coconut (in a long strip) on a long sheet of tin foil or cling film depending on what you have (about 40 cm length). Then place the mixture in a log shape carefully on top of the strip of coconut, using the wooden spoon pat the mixture down (so there aren’t massive gaps). Then sprinkle the rest of the coconut over the top of the mixture. You are trying to get an even coverage of coconut over the whole log.  

7. Curl up the sides of the tin foil/cling film and squeeze the mixture together so you are forming a long cylinder shape. 

8. Pop into the fridge for about 2 hours to firm up and it is ready to cut up and eat! 

9. You can store them in an airtight container, and they will keep for a week.
