Condensed Milk Maltesers Slice

Condensed milk Maltesers slice

It was such pure joy to make my own Condensed Milk the other day. I have to say that cooking is such a fun hobby but blogging about food just adds so much more fun, challenge and thrill to it.

As promised, here’s my beautiful dessert to share, made from my homemade condensed milk. When I saw this lovely slice at http://www.chocablog.com, I was so excited to try because of the condensed milk and Maltesers. I had a lot of Maltesers from Christmas and I knew it would be a hit in my family. I was right. My children said it’s one of the best they have tasted.

I followed the recipe quite closely except for some slight changes. I didn’t know what were the biscuits mentioned so I used malt biscuits. Instead of milk chocolate for topping I used dark chocolate. I doubled the recipe to share with friends. The recipe adapted is:

Ingredients A
360g Maltesers
500g malt biscuits

Crushed Maltesers and biscuits

Process both lightly in a processor. Don’t over process it because you still want the crunch.

Ingredients B
400g condensed milk (I used the one I made)
250g butter

Condensed milk and butter

Heat Ingredients B under low fire until butter is all melted. Add to Ingredients A above and mix well.

Press the mixture into tin

Press it into a paper lined tin and chill it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. I just left it in the cold garage.

Ingredients C
400g dark chocolate
150g butter

Chocolate topping

Melt the chocolate and butter under low fire. When it’s all melted, pour it over the cooled slice. Leave it to cool completely until the chocolate hardens before slicing. Cut into slices and serve. It’s very delicious. I actually find it quite addictive. It’s rich and fattening I must say, but once in a while it’s ok and good for the soul. My children liked it very much and said it’s one of the best they have ever tasted. This is a great item for parties.

These sound to die for! I love maltesers but am behaving myself at the moment!!

Conor @ HoldtheBeef on January 15th, 2010

Divina on January 15th, 2010

I love maltesers. I could finish the whole bag - the small one only. Maltesers + condensed milk, that’s a super combo.

Roti n Rice on January 15th, 2010

It looks good…. I can do with a slice right now for breakfast!

Jeannie on January 15th, 2010

Delicious looking! And very fattening lol! Would be a great hit with my boys too.

Mary on January 15th, 2010

@Sarah, Maison Cupcake - Oh dear, I don’t think I’m behaving myself…just too tempting

@Conor @ HoldtheBeef - Maltesers muffins sounds very delicious. Hope you make soon to share.

@Sushma Mallya - These slices are really good, full of malt and chocolate flavour. The texture is very beautiful too.

@Divina - I fully understand what you mean. I am munching away as I am typing I bet I’m going to finish the whole packet soon.

@Roti n Rice - Hope you try out soon. They are very delicious. ‘ll surely be making them again for Chinese New Year coming next month.

@Jeannie - I know….very fattening…all the hidden sugar and fat! Have to exercise more to enjoy it.

anncoo on January 15th, 2010

WOW! Looks very delicious. I seldom use condensed milk in my bakes. Will bookmark it, thanks for sharing.

Anna on January 15th, 2010

Wow… I never heard of Maltesers, but apparently I’m missing a lot.
This dessert sounds amazing and to top with chocolate. OMG!

Mary on January 15th, 2010

@Anncoo - I can’t remember using it in desserts except a steamed cake. But now I’m going to use it more often

@Anna - Maltesers are very delicious, can be very addictive. It is chocolate coated biscuits….beautiful malt flavour, crunchy and sweet. Gives this slice a very lovely texture and flavour.

Natasha - 5 Star Foodie on January 15th, 2010

Yum! These Maltesers look terrific! My daughter would love this for sure, I have to make it for her!

Mimi on January 15th, 2010

This looks so yummy. Maltesers look like what we call malted milk ball, or whopper in the US. I’m going to try it with them and of course the homemade condensed milk.

Hi Mary, thanks for leaving your comment on my blog! I looove condensed milk, but have used only for accompanying fresh strawberries or making Indian kulfi. Now, I got your tip that the milk is more versatile

@Rebecca - They are absolutely delicious. Hope you try out soon.

@Cheah - I will definitely be making this again for Chinese New Year. It’s really good….all the combination of ingredients.

@tasteofbeirut - I hear a lot of the beauty of Lebanese food. Hope to learn some. Thanks very much for visiting.

@Christine @ Fresh Local and Best - Thank you very much. It’s fattening too It’s ok once in a while ….good for the soul

This looks like a most fabulous decadent dessert. I love malted candies, this would be a hit here for sure!

Ladybird on January 16th, 2010

mmmm this looks like an interesting combination. I can imgaine the texture would be great - gooey but with some crunch from the Maltesers

Sarka on January 17th, 2010

I love Maltesers and this dessert looks divine! But I can’t make treats like this, I would eat that all just myself!

pigpigscorner on January 17th, 2010

oh my..this looks and sounds amazing! Love maltesers and love condensed milk!

Janice on January 17th, 2010

OMG that looks so good, not for the waistline.

Thas on January 17th, 2010

Phenomenal, how I wish I could empty all those. Believe me, I could empty these in just a matter of seconds:P
I’ve already mentioned I am a condensed milk freak, I love any dessert made of this. My favorite desserts are:
Pineapple pudding:

Have a great Sunday!

Kitchen Butterfly on January 17th, 2010

Yummy……remind me of chocolate shortbread slices….

Erika from The Pastry Chef At Home on January 17th, 2010

So cool you made your own condensed milk! I love that you swapped dark chocolate for milk. Milk chocolate would have made this way too sweet! This is the perfect snack to have with a cup of coffee (or tea)

Mary on January 17th, 2010

@Sarka - I fully understand what you say I have been eating so much, and so are the rest of my family.

@pigpigscorner - They combine excellently well. I’ll be making it again very soon.

@Janice - I just have to forget about my waist….too good to resisit I’ll exercise more.

@Thas - LOL…I do believe you, Thas! I think I’m second to you in condensed milk We must give each other a shout whenever we eat condensed milk Thanks very much for the links. I have to look them up and try. I’m sure I’ll like them.

@Kitchen Butterfly - Oh yes, I think I can use shortbread instead of malt biscuits to make this wonderful slice. I’m sure it will taste just as good.

@Erika from The Pastry Chef At Home - I was thrilled that we can make our own condensed milk. This is the beginning of many more wonderful desserts with condensed milk Yes, the milk chocolate would be too sweet.

Ellie on January 17th, 2010

Choclette on January 18th, 2010

This sounds thoroughly decadent, but I think I might just have to try it. I love maltesers and have very fond memories of condensed milk from when I wasn’t quite so worried about having such a sweet tooth.

Mary on January 19th, 2010

@Choclette - Hope you try out soon. It was fun to make and very delicious. I have just made another tray yesterday to share with friends.

Rosanna on January 19th, 2010

Wow these look sublime!! Might have to break my January diet…

Mary on January 19th, 2010

@Rosanna - I am good in breaking my diet plans I just had to go for more exercise. I had lunch with my friends today and shared the tray of this slice with them. They love it so much…the whole tray almost all finished!
