Ingredients
- 100g butter, melted
- 250g (1 packet) malt biscuits, crushed
- 1/2 tin (200g) sweetened condensed milk
- 180g (1 packet) fruit puff sweets, roughly chopped
- dessicated coconut
Method
In a mixing bowl combine the crushed biscuits, melted butter, sweetened condensed milk and fruit puffs.
Tun the mixture out onto a surface and then shape into a log approximately 5-6cm in diameter.
Roll the log in coconut, pressing firmly so that the coconut sticks.
Wrap securely in kitchen paper or plastic clingfilm.
Refrigerate until firm and then slice into rounds.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
*fruit puffs sweet are available in NZ at supermarkets and also at Bin Inn stores.
Alternatives to this are the Pascal coloured marshmallow-ish coloured candy people sweets.
Looking for other unbaked slices? See our Pineapple Lump Slice and also the popular Caramel Slice. We also like Citrus Slice, try it with white chocolate icing… mmm
Would really love to make this for a homeschool coop class. Would there be anything similar to the Eskimos candy here in the U.S.? maybe the dehydrated marshmallows in Lucky Charms? Or is there a source in New Zealand that I could purchase from and have them shipped?
Love this

It’s amazing
Can you please reply
Oops sorry
Can you please reply
How many does one recipe make?
Hi Kylie, about 20 slices, depending how thick you cut them.
I discovered lolly cake when I lived in NZ for two years. Back in South Africa we battle to find malt biscuits, but we do have the candy. Ours is called Funny Faces. My kids LOVE lolly cake, so its always a treat for them when we make it. Do you have any recipes for making my own malt biscuits?
Hi Leigh, I don’t have a malt biscuit recipe at my finger tips but your question has me thinking. I will go and search.
I live in Canada and also have trouble finding malt biscuits but I have used Arrowroot which also works, just not as dark in colour.
Could you please refrain from using the derogatory term “eskimo”?

Try this with Digestives rather than Malt biscuits for a variation, and add in some chopped walnuts or almonds. Delish!
Great tip Nigel.
EW WALNUTS AND DIGESTIVES!!! HOW OLD ARE YOU?? 69???

I recently moved to the UK from NZ and wanted to make this for my partner for his birthday..my mother in NZ send Eskimos as I could find anything close to them here..he gave the Lollie Cake10/10. Delicious.
If you have a really sweet tooth, try replacing the lollies with chopped up pieces of either peppermint chocolate or caramello chocolate.
My Mum use to make similar called Canadian Roll.Has chopped marshmallows,finely chopped walnuts,red& green glace cherries,sultanas,dates.Moisten with a little brandy or sherry.11/2 tins room temp condensed milk,1 pkt finely crushed malt biscuits.Can be a bit dry but roll and squeeze altogether then roll in coconut and wrap tightly in greaseproof paper put in fridge to harden.Freezes well.Great as Christmas coffee treat.
OOPS! forgot 100g melted butter.
I live in Melbourne and their are certain shops that sell NZ products like Eskimos!….expensive bt I buy the Eskimos and save them to make Lolly cakes for special occassions!…
I’d love to know the shops that sell eskimos etc
Foodworks and IGA supermarkets

Pingback: Kiwi Cuisine & the Cafe Culture | an ocean & a rock
This is better with Eskimos not fruit puffs.
Pingback: A Day at the Beach | toastedhobbits
use eskimo lollies cut up, they are softer than fruit puffs and taste good!!
made this for my kids & partner, doubled the recipe & it was gone in a week. They loved it
That wasn’t much I doubled mixture and lasted 3 days beat that
Try making it with Licorice Allsorts instead of the fruit puffs, its is so nice and not as sweet.
I have always known the candy people as Eskimo men that was the original name for them now they go by the name of Explorers in NZ
I was asked sometime ago for the lolly cake but could not find it anywhere in any of my books. I did used to make it in a cafe I worked in 25 years ago.So thanks I have passed it on to the friend that requested it. Excellant site.
