Ingredients
- 200 grams crushed digestive biscuits (or graham crackers)
- 100 grams unsweetened shredded coconut, toasted
- 150 grams glacé cherries, chopped
- 395 grams sweetened condensed milk
- 100 grams unsalted butter, melted
- 200 grams dark chocolate, chopped
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (or vegetable oil)
Directions
Step 1
Line a 20x20 cm (8x8 inch) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang for easy removal.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed biscuits, toasted coconut, and chopped glacé cherries.
Step 3
Pour in the sweetened condensed milk and melted butter, and stir until the mixture is well combined and forms a sticky dough-like consistency.
Step 4
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Use the back of a spoon or your hands to press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan, ensuring it is compact.
Step 5
Place the pan in the refrigerator to chill for 30-60 minutes or until the base is firm and set.
Step 6
While the base is chilling, melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil together in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method). Stir until smooth and glossy.
Step 7
Once the base has set, pour the melted chocolate evenly over the top, using a spatula to spread it out if needed.
Step 8
Refrigerate the slice for an additional 1-2 hours, or until the chocolate topping has fully set.
Step 9
Once set, remove the slice from the pan using the parchment overhang and transfer it to a cutting board.
Step 10
Cut into 12 even slices or squares using a sharp knife. Serve chilled and enjoy!
