Directions

  1. 1Start by crushing the Marie biscuits into fine crumbs.
  2. 2Add cocoa powder and dessicated coconut to the crushed biscuits.
  3. 3Mix the dry ingredients well.
  4. 4Pour in the condensed milk and melted butter.
  5. 5Mix all ingredients thoroughly until a cohesive mixture is formed.
  6. 6Line a glass bowl with cling wrap and press the mixture into it to form a dome shape for the hedgehog's body.
  7. 7Place the mixture in the fridge for a couple of hours to set.
  8. 8Remove the set mixture from the bowl and cling wrap, and place it on a grass-textured cake board.
  9. 9Chop chocolate flakes into smaller pieces to create the hedgehog's quills.
  10. 10Cover the entire dome-shaped body with melted chocolate.
  11. 11Immediately start placing the chocolate flakes (quills) onto the chocolate-covered dome, starting with shorter pieces at the front and longer pieces towards the back to achieve the hedgehog look.
  12. 12Add a Malteser for the hedgehog's nose.
  13. 13Attach two edible eyes; for a more relaxed look, dip them halfway in chocolate before placing.

Tips

  • Dipping edible eyeballs halfway in chocolate creates a more 'chilled out' look for the hedgehog's eyes.
  • Work quickly when covering the cake with chocolate and applying the chocolate flakes to prevent the chocolate from setting too soon
