 Ingrediants:

For Outer Layer:

Marie Biscuit or any Digestive Biscuits – 2 cups Powdered

Cocoa Powder – 2 to 3 tblspn

Icing Sugar – 2 to 3 tblspn

Milk – 3- 4 tblspn or as needed

For  Inner Filling:

Butter – 50 gms

Cashews – 10 chopped finely

Desiccated Coconut / Dry Coconut / Kopra – 1 cup

Vanilla Essence- 1tsp

Icing Sugar – 2 tblspn

Cherries for Garnishing

Method:

Start by making filling.. Take butter in a saucepan and melt it down on love heat.

Remove it from heat and add in cashews, coconut, vanilla and icing sugar and mix well.

Let it cool down to room temperature.

Now make outer layer. Take powdered biscuits, cocoa, icing sugar in a bowl and mix well.

Gradually sprinkle in the milk so that it forms a stiff dough. Don’t add too much of milk, else it will become sticky and won’t roll properly.

Now take a butter paper or foil and lay in front of you.

Take the dough and spread it into rectangle shape about 1 inch thickness.

Put all the filling on top and press it firmly with back of spoon so that everything sticks in place.

Start rolling with the help of foil or butter paper into a tight roll. Roll Firmly and calmly.

After everything is rolled. Wrap it with foil or butter paper and put in fridge for 30 mins.

Now take a sharp knife and cut into equal portions.

Serve it as it is or garnish with cherries.
