NO BAKE CHOCOLATE PINWHEELS RECIPE

I wanted to try a no bake dessert recipe for long time. I tried this recipe on Valentine’s day from Late Mrs.Jayasree’s blog. But I couldn’t post here.Actually I followed two different recipes. One using dessicated coconut & condensed milk and the other one is this simple recipe using milk and butter. I loved both but Sendhil & Raksha din’t like the dessicated coconut flavor. So I am sharing the recipe using butter and milk which was a hit at home. Please see “Notes” for variations.

I cut in small size to make mini pinwheels. Now I wish to try no bake pinwheel cookies too.

  • Take the ground powder in a bowl and add the required milk to make a smooth, firm dough. I used 2.5 tbsp of milk. Adjust as per your dough.
  • Roll this ball in a polythene sheet using a rolling pin like a thick roti. Chocolate layer is ready.

  • In mixer, beat the sugar and butter to make a creamy paste .Remove and add the dessicated coconut if using.
  • Apply this paste over the rolled chocolate layer . Leave some space in the corners and roll it tightly.

  • Wrap the cylinder in  an aluminium foil or a polythene sheet. Freeze it for 1 hour. After it is set, remove and cut into pieces. It should not stick to the knife. If it is sticky, freeze for more time. Serve chilled !

Note
  • Adding dessicated coconut is purely optional.U can add condensed milk instead of milk to make the dough. Do not add sugar if u use condensed milk.
  • If using condensed milk , you may need 1/2 cup.
  • Make sure to make the chocolate layer little thicker than the white layer.
Always Serve chilled ! Here is a cute mini pinwheel for u !
