Ingredients

Servings
  • 14 oz sweetened condensed milk 1 can (398g)
  • 3 tablespoon cocoa powder unsweetened
  • 2 oz butter 55g, plus a little more for hands/plate later
  • 2 oz Chocolate vermicelli 55g, approx, or chocolate sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Mix together the condensed milk and the cocoa powder until smooth and there are no lumps of cocoa. Note - if your cocoa powder looks lumpy before you use it, sift it into the condensed milk to make a little easier.
  2. Melt the butter in a small pan then add the cocoa-condensed milk and mix in. Cook over a low-medium heat for around 10 minutes, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture thickens enough so that it takes a few seconds to flow back to cover the bottom of the pan when you stir it from the bottom. It will also hold to the spoon pretty well.
  3. Lightly grease a plate with butter then pour the mixture onto the plate. Leave to cool completely (you can speed up in the fridge).
  4. When the mixture is cool, pour some chocolate vermicelli/sprinkles on a small plate and lay out some mini baking cups. Lightly grease the palm and tips of the hand you’ll use to roll with a little butter.
  5. Take a heaped teaspoon of the mixture and roll it in your hand to form a ball. Roll it in the chocolate vermicelli/sprinkles so that it is covered on all sides (you may need to press them on a little) then place in the baking cup. Repeat with the rest of the mixture. They’ll keep a day or two out in a cool place, a good week or more refrigerated.
