Ingredients
- 100g (1 cup) digestive biscuits or graham crackers, crushed into fine powder
- 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup desiccated coconut (optional)
- 2 tbsp milk (adjust as needed)
- 3 tbsp softened butter or margarine
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Cornflakes or cereal flakes, as needed
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare dough: Mix crushed biscuits, cocoa, powdered sugar, and coconut in a bowl. Add butter, vanilla, and milk gradually until a soft, moldable dough forms.
- Shape cones: Divide dough and roll into oval/cone shapes to form the pine cone cores.
- Add flakes: Insert cornflakes at an angle starting from the base, layering upward to resemble pine cone scales.
- Chill: Place cones on a tray and refrigerate 15–20 minutes to firm.
- Finish: Dust with powdered sugar for a snowy look and serve.
Notes
- If dough is too sticky, add more crushed biscuits.
- Press cornflakes gently so they adhere to the dough.
- Chilling is essential to hold shape—don’t skip this step.
- Best served fresh; add cereal and sugar dusting just before serving.
