Preparation time: 30 minutes
Freezing time: 15 minutes
Total time: 45 minutes
Number of servings: 12 lollipops

Ingredients:
- 200 g coffee biscuits (spritz cookies or hardened sponge cake)
- 140 ml condensed milk (make sure to use the 397 g canned version, not the one meant for coffee)
- 1 tablespoon caramel syrup or vanilla essence
- 100 g white chocolate
- 3 tablespoons milk
- Lollipop sticks (or skewers)
- Shimmering colored pencils (from Dr. Oetker) and candies for decoration

Useful ingredient tips:
- Biscuits: You can use leftover biscuits from other desserts. These lollipops are great for minimizing waste in the kitchen. Simple biscuits have a neutral taste and combine perfectly with condensed milk.
- Condensed milk: It adds creaminess and natural sweetness to the lollipops. Avoid coffee condensed milk, as the consistency and taste are different.
- White chocolate: For an elegant look, you can experiment with dark or milk chocolate.

Step-by-step preparation:

1. Crumbling the biscuits: Start by placing the biscuits in a blender. Blend until you get a fine powder, similar to breadcrumbs. This will be the base for your lollipops.

2. Mixing the ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the crumbled biscuits with the condensed milk and caramel syrup. Use a spatula or your hands to knead the mixture. The final consistency should be sticky but not too wet. If you squeeze the mixture between your fingers, no liquid should run out.

3. Forming the balls: Using a spoon as a measure, form balls about 2-3 cm in diameter. Place them on a tray lined with baking paper and put them in the freezer for 15 minutes. This step is essential, as it helps the balls firm up and not deform when dipped in chocolate.

4. Melting the chocolate: While the balls are cooling, prepare the white chocolate. Melt it in a double boiler along with the 3 tablespoons of milk, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Once melted, keep the chocolate warm but not hot, so you can work with it easily.

5. Preparing the sticks: Remove the balls from the freezer. Dip the end of each stick into the melted white chocolate, then gently push it into the center of each ball. This step will help the stick stay in place.

6. Dipping in chocolate: Once the sticks are inserted, dip each ball into the white chocolate, letting the excess drip off. Use a fork to help with this step.

7. Decorating: Before the chocolate hardens, decorate each lollipop with shimmering colored pencils and candies. Be creative and let your imagination run wild!

8. Final cooling: In the meantime, prepare a piece of polystyrene where you can stick the lollipops to set. After you finish decorating, let the lollipops firm up in the refrigerator for at least an hour.

Serving suggestions:
These cookie and condensed milk lollipops are perfect for parties, but they can also be used as a sweet gift for loved ones. Wrap them individually in colorful foil or beautifully decorated boxes for a special effect. You can serve them alongside a warm drink, such as hot chocolate or flavored coffee, to complete the tasting experience.

Possible variations:
- Adding nuts: You can add chopped nuts or almonds to the mixture for extra texture and flavor.
- Flavoring: Instead of caramel syrup, you can use almond or orange essence to give your lollipops a distinct flavor.
- Milk chocolate: Experiment with milk chocolate instead of white chocolate for a deeper taste.

Nutritional benefits:
These lollipops contain biscuits that provide essential carbohydrates, and the condensed milk adds a source of protein and calcium. However, it is important to remember that, being a sweet dessert, it should be consumed in moderation.

Frequently asked questions:
1. Can I use gluten-free biscuits?
Yes, you can replace regular biscuits with gluten-free options to create a suitable dessert for those with intolerance.

2. What can I do if I don't have white chocolate?
You can use dark or milk chocolate; the result will be just as delicious!

3. How long do the lollipops last?
The lollipops can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 5-7 days.
