This is a recipe I came across in Sanjeev Kapoors site. I had a Nutrichoice Arrowroot biscuit packet lying at home and accidentally came across this recipe. It would make a quick and yummy treat for christmas.
For the dough/outer covering:
Ingredients:
For the dough/outer covering:
- Arrowroot biscuits- 12
- Powdered sugar - 2 tablespoon
- Cocoa powder - 1 tablespoon
- Milk - as needed ( around 1 to 2 tbsp)
For the filling:
- Dessicated coconut - 1 cup
- Cocoa powder - 2tbsp
- Powdered sugar 3 tbsp
- Cardamom powder - 1/2tsp
- Vanilla essence - 1tsp
- Butter - 2tbsp
Method:
1. To prepare the dough, powder the biscuits in mixie. Add the powdered biscuits, sugar and cocoa powder in a bowl. Add milk little by little and form a soft dough.
2. For the filling, mix all the ingredients under "for the filling" section in another bowl.
3. Spread a clean plastic cover/sheet (if you have have a cling wrap it would be more easy), I didnt have cling wrap so used a clean plastic cover. Grease it with some butter and roll the dough with the chapathi roller pin to a rough circle.
4. Spread the filling in the middle and press down a little. Now start rolling from the top to bottom (along with the sheet) and form a cylinder. Roll it a bit tight. Seal the edges by tying a knot.
5. Pop it in the freezer for 2 hrs. Take it out, release the edges and remove the plastic sheet. Cut into circular slices and serve!.
Notes:
- Take care to ensure mixie is dry before powdering the biscuits.
- The original recipe calls for 3tbsp cocoa in the filling and 2 tbsp in the dough. I made the filling with 3 tbsp but it seemed to have the bitterness of cocoa. So I have given it as 2 tbsp here. Just add 2 tbsp and if its not enough add more after tasting. I used weikfield cocoa powder.
- Add milk little by little. Adjust as per requirement.
- You can add chopped nuts in the filling too.
