Delicious mini no-bake desserts that you can make just in your food processor with simple ingredients. Skalichki are easy yet wonderful sweet treats, perfect for every occasion
Place the biscuits, walnuts, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder in a food processor. Grind on high speed until fine crumbs form.
Add the softened butter, desiccated coconut, rum extract, orange zest, and cinnamon. Continue processing until the butter is evenly distributed.
Gradually add the milk, one tablespoon at a time. Pulse the food processor after each addition and check the consistency. The mixture should be thick enough to handle easily with your hands.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl. Using your hands, break off small pieces and shape them into cylinders. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Shape the cylinders into cones, creating "mountain peaks." If the peaks are too soft, chill them in the refrigerator for a few hours before glazing and serving.
For the Glaze:
Combine the chocolate and water (or milk) in a small saucepan over a double boiler. Melt the chocolate, stirring until smooth. Allow it to cool slightly (it should not be hot).
Use a spoon to pour the glaze over each peak. Once the glaze sets, sprinkle with desiccated coconut.
Notes
Store the peaks in the refrigerator for 3–4 days, covered or in an airtight container, as they dry out easily. They can also be frozen for up to 2 months in containers.
Biscuits: You can use plain, tea, or even chocolate biscuits. If using chocolate biscuits, omit or reduce the cocoa powder. The amount of milk needed will vary depending on the type of biscuits used.
You can also use leftover cake that has started to dry out.
