Equipment

Food Processor, optional

Ingredients

250 g (9 oz) arrowroot biscuits, subs note 1
395 g (14 oz) condensed milk, subs note 2
20 g (¼ cups) cocoa powder, see note 3
50 ml (3 tablespoon) Baileys, adjust to preference
60 g (1 cups) desiccated coconut

Instructions

Place 250 g (9 oz) arrowroot biscuits, 395 g (14 oz) condensed milk, 20 g (¼ cups) cocoa powder, 50 ml (3 tablespoon) Baileys into a food processor and blitz until combined.
Note - If you want a finer texture, add biscuits in first and then the rest of the ingredients.
If you don't have a food processor, you can crush by hand in a sealed bag with a rolling pin and then mix together with the rest of the ingredients.
Cover and chill the mixture in the fridge for 20–30 minutes to firm up. Once chilled, scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and roll into balls.
Roll each ball in 60 g (1 cups) desiccated coconut (or your choice of coating) to coat evenly.
Place on a parchment-lined tray and chill again for 15–20 minutes so they hold their shape.

Notes

Note 1 - Biscuits

Substitutions - digestives, Marie's, other plain sweet biscuits (note some texture differences)

Note 2 - Condensed milk

I've made this with full fat, skim, and dairy-free alternatives (coconut, oat) and they all work fine. Overall texture changes very slightly and some flavour differences.

Note 3 - Cocoa powder

Substitutions - chocolate milk powder, cacao powder (it'll make them less sweet)
