The quintessential Singaporean breakfast drink, Milo can probably be hailed as one of the greatest inventions ever made.

Sweet, nutritious, rich and chocolatey, most of us would have been brought up on it after we stopped drinking milk. That’s not all folks; there are way more wondrous things that can be made using Milo powder.

Milo Macaroons

For expert bakers only, the Milo macaron is a shoo-in for the next dessert on the menu at patisseries island-wide. Though many bakeries do offer Milo Macaron, it is a wonder how it hasn’t gone viral yet.

A quick search will, however, point you in the right direction, but unfortunately you’ll need a whole lot of expertise to get it just right.

Milo Popsicle

It isn’t exactly a surprise since most of us have done this before, but here’s a little tip for those who want an upgrade.

Instead of simply freezing your Milo in the fridge, pour your Milo into a blender and add full cream milk or cream while blitzing it for 30 seconds before freezing it. You’ll get a richer, creamier popsicle.

Milo Mocha

Instead of chocolate, add some milo to your next cup of coffee for a malty aroma that blends in perfectly with some cookies or your favourite kaya toast.

Milo Cereal Porridge

I used to have this frequently as a child. Instead of adding oats or cereal into your Milo to get a hearty drink, add Milo to a bowl of cereal until it reaches the consistency of porridge. It might not look good, but it tastes pretty damn comforting.

Milo Tiramisu

Instead of soaking your ladyfingers (not the vegetable!) with coffee liqueur, replace it with milo mixed with a little rum and sprinkle on the Milo powder instead of coffee or cocoa.

Milo Bites

Turn that tin of butter cookies that you couldn’t finish into something better.

Blitz all the cookies in a blender into a coarse powder, then add enough condensed milk to make it mouldable. Roll the mixture into balls or chunks and coat them with Milo powder, then freeze them.
