It’s nostalgia repackaged for the modern day: Just like in Malaysia, Milo has gone from a childhood drink to a popular flavour in sweet treats. From doughnuts to shaved ice, here is where to find the best Milo desserts in Singapore.
Australian in origin, Milo is omnipresent in Singapore and Malaysia. As a beverage, the chocolate malt powder brand is served at every hawker centre and coffee shop. Milo vans are a perennial fixture at school sporting events. It’s a local product too: Milo powder is made at Nestle’s factory in Jurong.
Its form makes Milo a winsome companion to desserts in Singapore. Cat & the Fiddle turns it into a Milo Dinosaur cake – a tribute to the local drink with a crown of Milo powder. Keong Saik Bakery plays on Milo’s place at the breakfast table with cornflake crisps. Inspired by bingsu, San Gloo serves a Milo shaved ice dessert with rice krispies and condensed milk.
Ice cream is a natural Milo dessert, and Momolato crafts a Milo Dinosaur gelato studded with fat marshmallows. If you make it down in time, Messina has a malted milk chocolate gelato layered with chocolate brownies and dusted with Milo powder. If it runs out, fret not: the ice cream chain has a habit of bringing back weekly specials.
Milo desserts are also a highlight as Singapore celebrates six decades of independence, Swensen’s combines Milo with another uniquely Singapore drink. Goodwood Hotel presents it as a cremeux with kaya toast and egg tarts. Mister Donut marries Milo with its signature Pon de Ring. Those are served for a limited time, but Burnt Ends Bakery always has brioche Milo doughnuts.

Mister Donut’s Milo-spiked creations (see below) are available only for a limited period, but Burnt Ends Bakery’s versions are eternal. Their brioche doughnuts are a cult favourite among local consumers, and the Milo Dinosaur flavour sees Milo ganache piped into its fluffy interior and garnished with a crisp Milo biscuit. Get them at Dempsey Road and Audi House of Progress on Cross Street.

If your ratio of Milo to liquid skews heavily towards the former, Cat & the Fiddle has a treat for you. The pastry chain said that their improved Milo Dinosaur cheesecake is more “gao” – thick in local parlance – thanks to Milo cheese mousse layered over chocolate sponge and a cocoa Graham cracker crust, topped with a dusting of Milo powder. If that’s not enough, they throw in a sachet of Milo powder for good measure.

Cereal and Milo are already bedfellows, which Keong Saik Bakery doubles down on with its Milo Cornflakes Delight. The wafer pairs crispy cornflakes with the richness of Milo, all held together by creamy butter. Find them at the bakery’s Chip Bee Gardens, Bendemeer Road, and Jewel locations.

For SG60, Mister Donut teamed up with Milo on two doughnuts featuring the chocolate malt drink. The Pon De Magic doughnut is the Japanese chain’s signature ring-shaped mochi doughnut sliced in half, slathered with Milo-infused cream, and dusted with Milo powder. The Cream Crush is a yeast-leavened doughnut shell piped with Milo cream. Like the Pon De Magic, the fluffy exterior is finished with a sprinkle of Milo powder. Both flavours are available for a limited time at all Mister Donut outlets in Singapore.

Momolato founder Sharon Tay journeyed all the way to Italy just to learn the art of gelato-making, eventually competing and winning the Asia-Pacific Gelato World Tour Title. Now, she combines a local favourite with the Italian treat, resulting in ice cream like the Milo Dinosaur Marshmallows. Milo powder is used to flavour the base and dusted on top, with fluffy marshmallow chunks contrasting against the ice cream’s silkiness. Momolato has cafes in North Bridge Road and on Haji Lane.

Yet another paying homage to the nation’s favourite chocolate drink is Mcdonald’s, which launched the Iced Dinosaur in celebration of SG60. The icy and chocolatey beverage is topped with a generous dose of Milo powder, making it the perfect way to cool down after the Jumbo collaboration of chilli crab burgers.
