Ingredients
- 250 g plain sweet biscuits (e.g., graham crackers or Marie biscuits)
- 150 g unsalted butter
- 100 g granulated sugar
- 30 g unsweetened cocoa powder
- 200 ml sweetened condensed milk
- 50 g shredded coconut
- 200 g dark or milk chocolate, melted
- 30 g optional sprinkles or extra shredded coconut (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Line a square (20cm x 20cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang to easily lift the slice out later.
Step 2
Crush the biscuits into small chunks or pieces, leaving some larger bits for texture. Place in a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter, sugar, and cocoa powder together, stirring continuously until smooth.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the sweetened condensed milk until fully combined.
Step 5
Pour the wet mixture over the crushed biscuits and add the shredded coconut. Mix thoroughly until all the biscuit pieces are coated.
Step 6
Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan, ensuring it is tightly packed and smooth on top.
Step 7
Pour the melted chocolate over the biscuit base, spreading it out evenly. If desired, sprinkle sprinkles or extra shredded coconut over the top for decoration.
Step 8
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the slice is firm and set.
Step 9
Once set, lift the slice out of the pan using the parchment overhang and slice into 12 portions.
Step 10
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
