This coconut ball (Kókuszgolyó) is the queen of 'no-bake' sweets. It relies on the absorbent quality of ground biscuits: they soak up the flavoured buttery-milky mixture and, upon chilling, take on a mouldable, truffle-like consistency. Despite its simplicity, the quality of the butter and the resting time define the final result.

Instructions

1 ✓

Mix the ground biscuits with the icing sugar and the cocoa powder.

Tip: Taste the biscuits: if they are very sweet, reduce the amount of sugar.
2 ✓

Melt the butter, and mix it with the milk and vanilla/rum.

Tip: The fat helps deliver the flavours to the taste buds (flavour carrier).
3 ✓

Pour the liquid onto the biscuits and knead together by hand. If it crumbles, add a tiny bit of milk.

Tip: Let it stand for 10 minutes so the biscuits can soak up the liquid.
4 ✓

With wet hands, shape walnut-sized balls and roll them in desiccated coconut.

Tip: Water helps prevent the mixture sticking to your hands, and the coconut adheres better.
5 ✓

Chill in the fridge for 1 hour so the butter hardens and the balls hold their shape.

Tip: At room temperature, the balls may soften.

Recipe FAQ

Why is the mixture too soft?
The butter or milk might have been too warm, or the biscuits didn't absorb enough moisture. Chill in the fridge for half an hour before shaping.
