Chocoballs
A twist on cake-pops, these yummy bites are made of crushed digestive biscuits. The coatings can be either chocolate, crushed nuts or desiccated coconut. Ideal sweets for your Eid plate.
Ingredients
- 1 packet Digestive biscuits about 20-23 pieces
- 5 tbsp. Cadbury's cocoa powder
- 5 tbsp. desiccated coconut
- 1/2 tin condensed sweet milk approximately, you might need less
Instructions
- Crush the biscuits either by putting them in a bag and smashing them with a rolling pin or by using a processor. Add the cocoa powder, condensed sweet milk and the desiccated coconut. Mix everything together until the mixture resembles a dough that can be easily formed into balls. Make sure you add the sweet milk a little at a time whilst mixing, stop when you feel you can form balls out of the mixture easily. If you accidentally add too much condensed milk, then you can always add a bit more coconut or digestives to compensate.Once all are shaped, roll them in a coating of your choice. You can melt some chocolate and dip them into it (chill the Choco balls first if you are coating with chocolate then use a skewer to hold them whilst you dip) or you can roll them in some more desiccated coconut, or in crushed nuts of your choice. You can even leave them plain.Enjoy! 🙂
ASALAM ALAIKUM,
Am a fan of your pageand ive been spreading the gospel to any one i know about your page..you have helped so many family in this world MashaAllah.MAy Allah reward you and your supporting family in this world and hereafter inshaAllah…Ameen.
i make so many of your recipes but am not confident in posting photos.Am from the coastal part of kenya(guess u have been there)and ive made the choco balls and coated them on chocolate,is it ok to store them in the fridge?
W/Salaam, thank you so much Fauzat, and Ameen to your beautiful dua!! Yes I grew up in Mombasa, so I know the coast of Kenya very well and love it with all my heart! And yes you can refrigerate the chocoballs until needed.
if i don’t add cocoa powder!! so there will be a change in the taste on these balls or not?????
What are you using in place of the cocoa?
Ms. Fauzia,
Should I use sweetened or unsweetened dessicated coconut?
Also, if I don’t have, can I use shredded coconut?
Thank you!
You can use unsweetened (because the sweet milk and crushed biscuits are already sweet enough). And yes you can use shredded coconut but if it is freshly grated, please dry it slightly in the oven so there is no excess moisture in the mixture.
Also,
Can I use glucose biscuits like parle g if I don’t have digestive bisquits?
Thanks again!
Yes you can!
Salaams,
Love your recipes, have tried a few!

Aoa,
Aoa,
I have tried this recipe. The taste was simply amazing and i totally loved these chocobalss.
But there are few questions. The balls were really soft. When i rolled them into any shape after a minute or two they just become flat. Finally i froze them and then coated them with chocolate. What may be the reason for the soft balls?
Secondly mixture was so sticky.. Is it normal or balls were soft?
Can you give any tip for neat chocolate coating?
Hope to hear from you soon.
JazakAllah o khair 🙂
Sounds like you used less
Sounds like you used less biscuits. Simply crush some more biscuits and add them in. Mix and keep adding gradually until you can shape the balls and they remain firm. 🙂
Can I use Oreos instead? If I
Can I use Oreos instead? If I can, how many do I use and do I have to make any adjustments to the other measurements? 🙂
Yes you can use oreos in
Yes you can use oreos in which case you will not need to add the chocolate powder as they are already chocolate cookies. And since oreos have some cream in their centres, you may not need as much sweetened condensed milk to bind the mixture. So add very gradually. My only concern is that they may end up being too sweet. But if you have an intense sweet tooth then go for it. 🙂
Can we use cadbury drinking
Can we use cadbury drinking chocolate instead of Cadbury cocoa powder?
Yes you can although bear in
Yes you can although bear in mind drinking chocolate powder is normally sweetened, so the results might end up being a bit too sweet.

No, you need condensed milk
No, you need condensed milk because it contains sugar and is sticky enough to bind everything well enough for shaping.
