Ingredients
- 250 grams Marie biscuits (or plain tea biscuits)
- 150 grams Unsalted butter
- 395 grams Condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
- 100 grams Desiccated coconut
- 150 grams Glacé cherries, chopped
- 200 grams Dark chocolate
- 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Line a 20cm x 30cm (8 x 12 inch) rectangular baking pan with baking paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
Step 2
Crush the Marie biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor. Alternatively, place them in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin.
Step 3
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Once melted, stir in the condensed milk and cocoa powder until smooth and well combined. Remove from heat.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed biscuits, desiccated coconut, and chopped glacé cherries.
Step 5
Pour the butter and condensed milk mixture into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until a sticky and well-combined dough forms.
Step 6
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Use the back of a spoon or your hands to press it firmly and evenly into the pan, creating a flat base layer.
Step 7
Place the pan in the refrigerator for 1 hour to set.
Step 8
To prepare the chocolate topping, melt the dark chocolate and vegetable oil together in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method), or microwave in 20-second increments, stirring in between, until smooth and glossy.
Step 9
Pour the melted chocolate over the chilled base, spreading evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Step 10
Return the pan to the refrigerator for another hour or until the chocolate topping is set.
Step 11
Once fully set, remove the slice from the pan using the overhanging baking paper. Use a sharp knife to cut into 12 equal slices or your desired portion size.
Step 12
Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
