Ingredients
-
50 g unsalted butter
-
200 g quality dark chocolate (70%)
-
1 x 396 g tin of condensed milk
-
25 g ground almonds
-
2 heaped teaspoons Horlicks
-
200 g self-raising flour
-
100 g Maltesers
-
50 g quality white chocolate
Method
-
Melt the butter and chocolate in a pan on a low heat until smooth and combined, stirring occasionally.
-
Remove from the heat and stir in the condensed milk, followed by the almonds and Horlicks.
-
Sift in the flour and a pinch of sea salt, mix together, then chill in the fridge for 20 to 30 minutes (no longer).
-
Once cool, but still pliable, smash up the Maltesers and roughly chop the white chocolate, then mix it all together.
-
Preheat the oven to 170°C/325°F/gas 3.
-
Divide the mixture into 24 equal-sized balls and place on a couple of large baking trays lined with greaseproof paper.
-
Flatten each a little – like squashed golf balls (you can freeze them at this stage to bake another day if you like) – then bake for around 12 minutes, or until chewy in the middle and firm at the edges. Leave to sit in the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
-
If you want to take these devilish cookies to another level, either sandwich 2 cookies with a good spoonful of your favourite ice cream, or even some homemade marshmallow, and squeeze… heaven, or simply drizzle all the cookies with melted chocolate while they cool… amazing! - Jamie Oliver
