Ingredients

250g milk arrowroot biscuits
200g condensed milk
125g butter
1 cup desiccated coconut
3 tbsp cocoa powder
Chocolate freckles, to decorate

Method

Step 1

Line a lamington pan with baking paper.
Step 2

Place the condensed milk and butter into a microwave safe container, and heat on high for 1 minute, 30 seconds.
Step 3

Pulverise the milk arrowroot biscuits in a food processor or thermocooker. (Note: You can also place the biscuits in a plastic bag and pulverise with a rolling pin).
Step 4

Put the biscuit crumbs into a bowl, and add the coconut and cocoa. Make a well in the centre, and then stir in the melted condensed milk and butter mixture.
Step 5

Tip the mixture into the lamington tin, and press down. I like to use the back of a spatula, but you can use a spoon or even a glass. Gently press in 12 chocolate freckles.
Step 6

Refrigerate for around 1 hour or until firm.
