Description

This No Bake Mounds Roll, also known as Almond Joy Roll, is a delicious, easy-to-make dessert that combines a rich chocolatey cookie crust with a creamy coconut filling reminiscent of the classic candy bars. It requires no baking and comes together quickly, making it a perfect treat for any occasion.

Ingredients

Cookie Crust

  • 3 cups graham cracker crumbs (or cookie crumbs)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
  • 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup warm water

Coconut Filling

  • 10 ounces sweetened coconut flakes
  • 1 stick unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

  1. Pulse: Place graham cracker crumbs or cookies in a food processor and pulse until they reach a fine, cornmeal-like texture.
  2. Mix Crumbs: Transfer the fine crumbs to a large mixing bowl and add the cocoa powder. Stir to combine.
  3. Dissolve Sugar: In a small bowl, mix warm water and sugar, then microwave for 1 minute to create a syrup, stirring to dissolve the sugar completely. Add this syrup to the crumb mixture and blend using a fork until combined.
  4. Knead Dough: Using your hands, knead the mixture until it forms a non-sticky, pliable dough similar to play dough. Add more warm water one tablespoon at a time if needed.
  5. Roll Dough: Lay plastic wrap on the counter, place the dough ball in the center, and roll into a thin rectangle approximately 10×12 inches. Press broken areas together to maintain shape and trim the edges with a knife.
  6. Prepare Coconut Filling: Using an electric mixer or hand mixer, beat butter and powdered sugar until fluffy, about 1-2 minutes. Scrape the bowl, add sweetened condensed milk, and mix until smooth.
  7. Combine Filling: Fold in sweetened coconut flakes using a spatula until evenly incorporated.
  8. Assemble Roll: Spread the coconut filling evenly over the cookie dough sheet, leaving a ½ inch border around the edges. Using the plastic wrap, carefully roll the dough and filling into a tight log, pressing gently to shape.
  9. Chill: Wrap the log tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
  10. Slice and Serve: Keep the roll wrapped in plastic when storing. Unwrap only the amount you plan to slice to keep it fresh and prevent drying out. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

  • Using graham cracker crumbs or cookie crumbs can change the texture slightly, but both work well.
  • Warm water helps bind the dough and gives the right consistency.
  • If the dough is too sticky, add a little more crumbs or cocoa powder.
  • Refrigeration firms up the roll for easier slicing and cleaner cuts.
  • Store leftover slices wrapped in plastic wrap or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
