Description

Lolly cake is a beloved classic Kiwi treat that combines crushed malt biscuits, colorful explorers or fruit puffs, and a sweetened condensed milk and butter mixture, all rolled in coconut. This no-bake dessert is easy to make, perfect for parties, and chilled to form delicious, sliceable logs.


Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 120g butter, melted
  • ½ cup sweetened condensed milk (160g)

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 packet malt biscuits, crushed (250g)
  • 1 packet explorers (150g) or fruit puffs, chopped
  • ½ cup coconut


Instructions

  1. Melt the Butter and Condensed Milk: In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and sweetened condensed milk together until fully combined and smooth.
  2. Add Crushed Biscuits: Mix the crushed malt biscuits into the melted butter and condensed milk mixture, stirring well to coat all the biscuit crumbs evenly.
  3. Add Explorers or Fruit Puffs: Chop the explorers or fruit puffs into small pieces and fold them into the biscuit mixture, ensuring an even distribution of colorful candies.
  4. Form the Logs: Turn the combined mixture onto a clean surface. With your hands, tightly pack the mixture and shape it into two logs, pressing firmly to keep them solid.
  5. Roll in Coconut: Roll each log generously in coconut to coat the outside completely, adding texture and flavor.
  6. Chill: Wrap the logs tightly in cling film and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up before slicing.
  7. Slice and Serve: Once chilled, slice the logs into approximately 2 cm thick pieces and serve as a delightful sweet treat.
