a no-cook recipe found on the side of a can of 'Golden Circle' crushed pineapple. THis recipe can easily be made suitable for a gluten-free diet by sing gf cookies- I used gluten-free 'Morning Tea' bickies. You can use any plain cookie similar to a Marie biscuit (US- can sub vanilla wafers). A good recipe for beginner children cooks to prepare Ingredients:
250 g marie biscuits, crushed to a fine crumb (us) or 250 g gluten-free plain biscuits (us) or 250 g vanilla wafers (us) |
395 ml sweetened condensed milk |
450 g crushed pineapple, drained and squeezed |
1 1/2 cups shredded coconut |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the biscuit crumbs, condensed milk, squeezed out pineapple and 1/2 cup shredded coconut. Mix well.
2. Roll 4 teaspoons (Aussie tablespoon) of mixture in the remaining cup of shredded coconut to form neat balls and place in an airtight container. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
3. Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
