Equipment

Food Processor, optional

Ingredients

395 g (14 oz) condensed milk, subs note 1
200 g (7 oz) pistachio cream/spread
250 g (9 oz) arrowroot biscuits, or other plain sweet biscuit see note 2
30 g (¼ cup) pistachios , roughly chopped, for decorating
40 g (¼ cup) white chocolate, for decorating
40 g (¼ cup) dark chocolate, for decorating

Instructions

Crush the 250 g (9 oz) arrowroot biscuits in a food processor until fine crumbs.
If you don’t have a processor, place biscuits in a zip-lock bag and crush with a rolling pin.
In a mixing bowl, combine biscuit crumbs, 200 g (7 oz) pistachio cream/spread, 395 g (14 oz) condensed milk until a sticky dough forms.
You can also do this in the food processor, just note the pistachio spread is really sticky so it may not mix evenly.
Chill the mixture for 15–20 minutes to make it easier to handle.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions and roll into smooth balls.
Microwave 40 g (¼ cup) white chocolate and 40 g (¼ cup) dark chocolate (separately) in the microwave on 10 second intervals until half melted then stir to completely melt. Drizzle over balls with some chopped 30 g (¼ cup) pistachios .
Place on a tray lined with baking paper and chill for another 15–20 minutes so they firm up.
