How to soften hardened Milo powder?

To soften hardened Milo powder, transfer it to a bowl and break it up with a fork or wooden spoon. If it’s clumpy, you can also sift it through a mesh strainer. To prevent future hardening, keep the Milo powder in an airtight container and store it in a cool, dry place.

What can you make with Milo?

Milo can be used in a variety of recipes beyond just a beverage. You can make Milo-flavored desserts such as Milo brownies, Milo cookies, and Milo ice cream. It’s also great in smoothies, sprinkled over cereal, or mixed into yogurt for a flavorful treat.

Is Milo gluten-free?

Milo itself is made from malted barley, which contains gluten. Therefore, it is not gluten-free. People with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity should avoid consuming Milo or seek gluten-free alternatives that offer a similar flavor profile.

Ingredients
 
 

Base

  • 250 g (1 packet / 8.8 oz.) Marie biscuits, or plain digestive biscuits
  • 1/2 cup Milo powder, store-bought or homemade
  • 1 1/4 cup desiccated coconut
  • 1 can (395g / 14 oz.) sweetened condensed milk

Topping

  • 200 g plain dark chocolate block, broken into squares

Instructions
 

Base

  • Prepare Pan: Line an 8-inch x 8-inch (20cm x 20cm) baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Crush Biscuits: In a food processor, crush biscuits into crumbs, leaving some larger chunks for texture. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: Add Milo and desiccated coconut to the biscuits. Mix until well combined.
  • Add Condensed Milk: Pour in condensed milk and thoroughly mix with a wooden spoon until all dry ingredients are well coated. Using your hands may be helpful for better mixing.
  • Press Mixture: Spoon the mixture into the lined pan and press into an even layer.
  • Chill: Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes until just set.

Topping

  • Melt Chocolate: Prepare a double boiler with a heat-proof mixing bowl over simmering water. Add chocolate and gently melt over low-medium heat, stirring occasionally. Once completely melted, turn off the heat. Allow residual heat to continue melting any remaining chunks.
  • Add Topping: Remove the slice from the refrigerator. Carefully pour the melted chocolate over the base, tilting the pan or using a spatula to spread the chocolate evenly.
  • Chill Again: Transfer to the refrigerator for 2-3 hours until completely hardened, or ideally overnight to allow the base to firm up.
  • Soften for Slicing: Before slicing, remove from the pan and let sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes. This softens the chocolate slightly, making it easier to cut through and preventing it from cracking.
  • Cut and Enjoy: Slice into rectangles or squares. Enjoy!

Notes

Storage: Store the slice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. 
Freeze: For longer storage, wrap the entire slab or individual slices in cling film, then place in a freezer-safe bag or container. It can be frozen for up to 3 months.
Thaw: Thaw the slices in the refrigerator overnight. For quicker thawing, leave them at room temperature for a few hours until they are soft enough to eat.
