Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 390 gram tin (Sweetened condensed milk)
  • 250 grams Marie biscuits finely crushed (About 3 cups crumbs)
  • 2 Tbsp Cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup 45 g Desiccated coconut (For the base)
  • 3 × 52 gram Cherry Ripe bars roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup Desiccated coconut (Extra for rolling)

Instructions

Crush the Biscuits

  1. Place Marie biscuits in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin (or pulse in a food processor) until fine. Transfer to a large bowl.
  2. Place biscuits in the Thermomix bowl. Turbo 2 sec × 2 until fine. Remove to a bowl.

Combine the Base

  1. Add condensed milk, cocoa powder, and ¼ cup desiccated coconut to the crumbs. Stir in chopped Cherry Ripe bars until evenly mixed. The mixture will be thick and sticky.

Portion & Roll

  1. Scoop heaping tablespoons of mixture and roll into tight balls with lightly moistened hands (or chill 15 minutes if too sticky).

Coat & Chill

  1. Spread the remaining ½ cup coconut on a plate. Roll each ball to coat. Arrange on a tray and refrigerate at least 30 minutes to set.

Mix the Base

  1. Add condensed milk, cocoa, ¼ cup coconut, and Cherry Ripe pieces. Mix 10 sec/Speed 4.5/Reverse. Scrape down sides. Mix 10 sec/Speed 5/Reverse.

Roll & Chill

  1. Proceed with Standard Method Steps 3–4 above.

Notes

  • Work Quickly: The mixture firms up as it chills—roll while still pliable.

  • Flavor Swap: Substitute Cherry Ripe with chopped dark chocolate and raspberries for a twist.

  • Storage: Store chilled in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 1 month.

  • Engagement Tip: No-bake treats are fantastic for involving kids—this recipe enjoys high engagement for simple kitchen projects!
