Step 1

Prepare the Biscuit Mixture

Begin by crumbling the biscuit cookies into a fine consistency. You can place them in a zip-top bag and gently crush them with a rolling pin or pulse them in a food processor. The goal is to achieve a smooth and even texture.

Once crumbled, transfer the cookie crumbs into a mixing bowl. Add the sweetened condensed milk and melted butter to the bowl. Mix everything together until well combined, forming a sticky dough that holds together.

Step 2

Shape the Dessert

With your hands, take small portions of the dough and shape them into little pine cones. You can roll them into an oval shape and then pinch one end to create a pointy top. This will give them a pine cone appearance.

Once all the mixture is shaped, place the pine cones on a plate lined with parchment paper. This will prevent them from sticking.

Step 3

Decorate with Chocolate

Next, take your chocolate sprinkles and cover each pine cone. Roll them gently in the sprinkles until they are fully coated. This will add a delightful crunch and a touch of sweetness to your dessert.

After decorating, place the plate in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up the pine cones before serving.

Step 4

Serve and Enjoy

Once the pine cone desserts are chilled and slightly firm, dust them lightly with powdered sugar. This will give them a beautiful snowy finish, perfect for the winter season!

Arrange them on a serving platter and enjoy with your family and friends. They make a great treat for any festive occasion or cozy gathering.
