Chocolate Coconut Hairpins

This is a healthy dish made with biscuits and coconut that we can make for our kids. The perfect blend of the outer biscuit layer with the sweet coconut filling, makes the dish an outstanding one.  It can also be made into rolls but for that the thickness of the filling as well as the outerlayer should be less. But you can try that as well. Enjoy.

Ingredients:

For Outer Layer:
Marie Biscuit or any Digestive Biscuits – 2 cups Powdered
Cocoa Powder – 2 to 3 tblspn
Powdered Sugar – 2 to 3 tblspn
Milk – 3- 4 tblspn or as needed

For  Inner Filling:
Butter – 50 gms
Cashews – 10 chopped finely
Desiccated Coconut – 1 cup
Vanilla Essence- 1tsp
Powdered Sugar – 2 tblspn

Method:

Start by making filling.. Take butter in a saucepan and melt it down on low heat.
Remove it from heat and add in cashews, coconut, vanilla and sugar and mix well.
Let it cool down to room temperature.

Now make outer layer. Take powdered biscuits, cocoa and 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.
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. Take hold of one side and fold it firmly towards the other side and press.
Wrap it with foil or butter paper and put in fridge for 30 mins.
Now take a sharp knife and cut into equal portions.
