Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tbsp unsalted butter , plus a little extra
400g tin sweetened condensed milk
4 tbsp cocoa powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
50g toasted chopped pistachio
50g flaked almond
50g desiccated coconut

Steps:

  • In a medium heavy-based saucepan, heat the butter, condensed milk, a pinch of salt and the cocoa, to boiling, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Reduce the heat to medium-low; cook for 10-15 mins, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thick and shiny and starts to pull away from the bottom.
  • Stir in the vanilla and vigorously mix again. Pour the mixture onto a buttered plate. Chill for at least 2 hrs.
