Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 225 grams (8 ounces) Maltesers
  • 225 grams (8 ounces) digestive biscuits (finely crushed)
  • 200 grams (7 ounces) milk chocolate

Binding Ingredients:

  • 100 grams (3.5 ounces) butter
  • 3 tablespoons golden syrup

Instructions

  1. Prepare a lined Swiss roll pan for the no-bake dessert.
  2. Create a rich chocolate mixture by gently melting butter, chocolate, and syrup in a double boiler until smooth and glossy.
  3. Crush Maltesers into delightful chunks, ensuring some remain whole for textural contrast.
  4. Fold the crumbled Maltesers into the warm chocolate mixture, stirring thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
  5. Quickly transfer the chocolate-Malteser blend into the prepared pan, spreading evenly with a spatula.
  6. Refrigerate for approximately 1-2 hours until the mixture sets completely and becomes firm to the touch.
  7. For an elegant finish, melt white chocolate using a microwave or double boiler at low temperature.
  8. Drizzle the warm white chocolate artfully across the surface, creating decorative patterns.
  9. Return to the refrigerator for an additional 15-20 minutes to allow the white chocolate topping to set.
  10. Once fully chilled, slice into squares and serve at room temperature for optimal flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Customize texture by gently crushing Maltesers for a more intense malt flavor and varied crunch.
  • Control sweetness by choosing dark or milk chocolate depending on personal preference and desired richness.
  • Create gluten-free version by substituting regular cookies with gluten-free alternatives like almond or oat-based biscuits.
  • Enhance presentation by adding extra Maltesers on top or sprinkling crushed malt balls for a decorative and textural finish.
