Are you ready to learn how to make the perfect fifteens? This delicious, sweet treat is a beloved favorite of many, and now you can learn the secret to making them just right. Get ready to roll up your sleeves and dive into this fun and easy guide to creating your own batch of fifteens.
First, let’s gather our ingredients. You will need 15 digestive biscuits, 15 large marshmallows, 15 glace cherries, 150g desiccated coconut, and a 397g can of sweetened condensed milk. Don’t forget to clear off plenty of space to work and get your hands ready to get messy!
Start by crushing the digestive biscuits into small pieces. You can do this by placing the biscuits in a sealed plastic bag and using a rolling pin to break them down. Once the biscuits are crushed, transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Next, chop the marshmallows and glace cherries into small pieces, and then add them to the bowl with the crushed biscuits. Mix everything together until the marshmallows and cherries are evenly distributed throughout the biscuits.
Now it’s time to add the desiccated coconut and sweetened condensed milk to the bowl. Mix everything well until the ingredients are fully combined and the mixture has a sticky consistency.
Once your mixture is ready, lay out a sheet of parchment paper on a clean surface. Sprinkle a little extra desiccated coconut onto the paper to prevent the mixture from sticking. Then, spoon the mixture onto the paper and shape it into a log, about 15 inches long.
Roll the log in the desiccated coconut to coat the outside, and then wrap it tightly in the parchment paper. Place the wrapped log in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow it to set.
After the fifteens have chilled, remove them from the refrigerator and unwrap them from the parchment paper. Use a sharp knife to slice the log into 15 equal pieces, and voila! You now have a batch of perfect fifteens ready to enjoy.
Now that you know how to make fifteens, get creative with it! You can try adding in different ingredients like chopped nuts or chocolate chips, or even drizzling some melted chocolate on top for an extra indulgent touch. The possibilities are endless, so don’t be afraid to experiment and have fun with it.
So there you have it, a step-by-step guide to making your own delicious fifteens. Grab your ingredients, gather your friends or family, and have a blast creating and enjoying these sweet treats together. Happy baking!
