Thicc Milo aka Milo Kepal

Have you also been seeing this Thicc Milo trend on TikTok? It’s a simple ice dessert made sweeter with thick, milo ganache. The term “thicc milo” is just an unofficial name that Food TikTokers from the Philippines have come up with to describe the dessert. However, upon deeper research I discovered that this is actually an existing Malaysian iced treat called Milo Kepal, or Ais Kepal Milo.

Thicc Milo aka Milo Kepal Recipe

Thicc Milo is a very straightforward, easy-to-make Milo dessert! The best part is that you can easily find the ingredients to this recipe at home or from your local grocery stores.

Thicc Milo / Milo Kepal Ingredients:

• 1 cup Milo
• 100 ml condensed milk
• 3-4 tbsp hot water
• Shaved Ice
• Evaporated Milk
• Preferred toppings

Procedure:

1. In a bowl, mix the Milo powder and hot water. Mix thoroughly so that you get a thick liquid. Be careful not to put too much water to avoid diluting the mixture.
2. Add the condensed milk. Mix again until you achieve your desired “thicc” consistency. Then set aside and let cool. It’s important that you let the ganache cool first, so that it won’t melt the ice later.
3. Using a food processor, crush as much ice cubes as you want.
4. Fill your glass to the brim with crushed ice. Then slowly add evaporated milk on top of the crushed ice.
5. Finally, pour the Milo ganache on top of the milky ice, and you’re done!

What you get is a creamy and milky chocolatey dessert that’s perfect for summer. Eat it with a spoon, or if it has already melted, drink it like a chocolate beverage!

To make your Milo Kepal more fun, you may also add toppings such as nuts, marshmallows, or even more chocolates. Personally, I prefer to just add nuts because the Milo and milk are already sweet enough.
