Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Sweetened condensed milk
• 2 cups Shredded coconut (unsweetened)
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup Dark chocolate chips
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream

Directions

Step 1

Prepare an 8x8 inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, cocoa powder, and granulated sugar.

Step 3

Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat, then pour it into the dry mixture. Stir until well combined.

Step 4

Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the base layer. Place in the refrigerator to chill for 10 minutes.

Step 5

In another medium bowl, mix the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract until fully combined.

Step 6

Spread the coconut mixture evenly over the chilled base layer, creating the second layer. Use the back of a spoon to smooth the top. Return the pan to the refrigerator while you prepare the chocolate layer.

Step 7

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine dark chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.

Step 8

Pour the melted chocolate over the coconut layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon.

Step 9

Refrigerate the pan for at least 2 hours, or until the layers are set and firm.

Step 10

Once set, lift the dessert out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 16 squares using a sharp knife, cleaning the blade between cuts for clean edges.

Step 11

Serve chilled and enjoy!
