How to Make Ginger And Macadamia Nut Balls

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes.
  2. Crush the digestive biscuits finely using a food processor or by placing them in a strong bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the crushed biscuits, chopped macadamia nuts, and ground ginger (if using).
  4. In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, softened butter, and golden syrup.
  5. Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, until the butter is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat.
  6. Pour the warm condensed milk mixture into the biscuit and nut mixture. Stir well until everything is thoroughly combined.
  7. Use a spoon or your hands to form the mixture into small balls (approximately 1-inch diameter).
  8. Roll the balls in desiccated coconut until they are evenly coated.
  9. Place the finished balls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
  10. Once chilled, enjoy your delicious Ginger & Macadamia Nut Balls!
