How to Make Monte Creams
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking trays with baking paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together 125g softened butter and 100g caster sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add 2 tablespoons of milk and beat until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 250g plain flour, 2 tablespoons custard powder, and 50g desiccated coconut.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Roll teaspoons of mixture into balls and place them on the prepared baking trays, leaving some space between each biscuit.
- Press down gently on each ball with a fork to create a criss-cross pattern.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are lightly golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
- For the filling:
- In a small bowl, cream together 50g softened butter and 25g icing sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add 1 tablespoon of milk and beat until smooth.
- Spread half of the cooled biscuits with ½ teaspoon of the butter cream mixture and top with ½ teaspoon of your favorite jam.
- Sandwich the biscuits together to create delicious Monte Carlo treats.
