Rola Bola is a sweet dish prepared using Marie biscuits, instant powder, condensed milk and dessicated coconut. There is no cooking involved in preparing this dish and can be made in very less time.
Ingredients:
Marie Biscuits – 25
Dry Coconut/Copra – 1, grated  (or you can use shredded dessicated coconut – about 3 cups)
Condensed Milk – 400ml  to 450ml
Instant Coffee Powder – 2 teaspoons
Square Plastic sheets(Polythene covers)
Method:
- Mix grated copra and 2-3 tablespoons of condensed milk. The condensed milk must bind grated copra. Keep aside.
- Keep aside 2 tablespoons of condensed milk in small bowl.
- Break marie biscuits and blend them into fine powder.
- Add instant coffee powder and condensed milk to this powder and knead into smooth but firm dough. The dough must not be sticky.
- Divide the dough into 3 or 4 equal portions.
- Now place a plastic sheet on the kitchen platform.
- Place a portion of the dough on the sheet and cover with another sheet.
- Press (or roll on a plastic sheet using a rolling pin) it evenly to make a flat disc of 1/4 inch thickness.
- Smear a thin layer of condensed milk on top of the disc.
- Now spread the copra mixture evenly on top of it.
- Now roll the disc topped with copra mixture tightly like you roll a mat or a swiss roll and wrap it in aluminium foil or plastic sheet.
- Repeat this for all the remaining portions of the dough.
- Refrigerate the rolls, wrapped in the plastic sheets/aluminium foil for an hour.
- Remove the wrapped foil/sheet and cut the rolls into discs and serve.
