Think homemade fudge is beyond you? Think again.
These easy malty treats are delicious – and there won’t
be a sugar thermometer in sight!
Recipe type: confectionery • MAKES: 20-30 PIECES
Prep time: 30 MINS • SET time: 2 HOURS+ • Total time: 3 HOURS
INGREDIENTS:
100g Horlicks Traditional
300g soft cheese at room temperature

500g icing sugar
1 tbsp vanilla extract
300g milk powder
250g chocolate malt balls
INSTRUCTIONS:
1
Well grease and line a 30 x 20cm baking dish with two layers of cling film. In a large
mixing bowl, mix the butter and cheese together until combined. Then stir in the vanilla
until combined.
2
In a separate bowl, mix together the milk powder, Horlicks Traditional and icing
sugar. Gradually add this into the butter mixture, mixing well between each addition
until combined.
3
Place the chocolate malt balls into a sealable plastic bag. Bash with a rolling pin end until
roughly crushed (with an even amount of malt crumbs and pieces). Reserving 50g for
decoration, stir the rest into the Horlicks mixture. Mix until well combined.

Transfer to the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a silicone spatula.
Sprinkle over the reserved chocolate malt balls and chill for 2 hours or until set.

Lift the fudge out of the baking tray and transfer to a chopping board. Peel off and discard
the cling film. Then chop into small squares and either serve immediately (for a softer
fudge), or freeze in a freezer-proof container for up to 3 months and eat straight from
the freezer.

TASTY TREAT
Malted Milk
Custard Sandwiches
Author: FAE GILFILLAN (Veggie Magazine Editor)
A pinch of Horlicks offers a tasty twist on two
traditional favourites
Recipe type: BAKING • MAKES: 20 SANDWICHED BISCUITS
Prep time: 20 MINS • COOK time: 20 MINS • Total time: 40 MINS
INGREDIENTS:
150g unsalted butter, softened
150g caster sugar
1 egg yolk
1tsp vanilla extract
50ml semi-skimmed milk
50g Horlicks Traditional
300g plain flour
1 tsp vanilla extract
150g icing sugar
50g unsalted butter, softened
INSTRUCTIONS:
1
Position your oven shelves in the centre of your oven before preheating it to 180ºC/160ºC fan/
Gas 5. Line two baking trays with greaseproof paper.
2
Mix together the butter with the caster sugar until well combined. Add the egg yolk, vanilla extract
and milk, then mix again.
3
Sift over the plain flour and Horlicks and bring together to form a dough. On a floured surface,
roll out to the thickness of a pound coin and, using a cookie cutter, cut out your biscuits.
Keep re-rolling your remaining dough to cut as many biscuits from it as possible.
4
Place your biscuits on the lined baking trays, leaving plenty of space on the trays for the biscuits to
spread out, and place in the oven. Bake for 14-20 minutes, depending on size, until lightly golden.
Leave to cool on the baking trays for 5 minutes, before transferring to cooling racks while you
make your custard cream filling.
5
In a bowl, mix together the softened butter, icing sugar and vanilla extract. Place in a piping bag,
and once the biscuits are completely cool, ice similar-sized blobs onto the backs of your biscuits
before sandwiching the filling using the back of another biscuit. You don’t need a lot of filling
between each biscuit sandwich, so only pipe about a teaspoon onto each biscuit. Repeat until all
the malted milk biscuits have become malted milk custard sandwiches.

broccoli. Cook for two more minutes until the pasta is just al dente.

perfect for a night on the sofa in front of the telly.
Recipe type: dessert • Serves: 6
Prep time: 20 MINS • set time: 5 hours • Total time: 5 hours 20 mins
INGREDIENTS:
300ml pot double cream
300g melted white chocolate

malt balls
3 tbsp of Horlicks Light Chocolate
200g malted milk biscuits
100g melted salted butter
5 tbsp caster sugar
2 x 300g tubs full fat cream cheese
INSTRUCTIONS:
1
The prep - first of all you will need a 22 to 23cm deep round tin, make sure that you line
the sides and bottom of the tin with greaseproof paper or baking parchment so that your
yummy cheesecake does not stick to the tin once you go to plate it up.
2
The crumbly bit - now to make the tasty base of your cheesecake. This is super simple,
just take your malted milk biscuits (crush them so they’re super crumbly), melted butter
and 2 tbsp of the sugar and mix it all together then put this in the bottom of your tin and
press down until flat. Pop this in the fridge to chill while you make the tasty Horlicks filling.
3
The mixing - now the trickier part, divide cream cheese and cream evenly between 2 bowls.
Add the white chocolate to one of the bowls. Then in the second bowl add the milk chocolate,
3 tbsp sugar and of course the tasty Horlicks. Beat both of these bowls each with an electric
whisk until the mixtures are smooth. Place in the fridge for 3 hours to set.
4
The decorating - take the bowl with the milk chocolate mixture in and evenly spread in
the tin. Then take your other bowl with the white chocolate mix and spoon the mixture
over the top and gently smooth.
5
Now the fun part (my favourite part): Dig in and enjoy your scrummy Scarlett’s
