Line an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring there is some overhang to easily lift the slice out later.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the desiccated coconut, crushed biscuits, and chopped mixed dried fruit. Mix well.
Pour the sweetened condensed milk into the bowl and stir until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated and the mixture holds together.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan and use the back of a spoon or your hands to press it firmly and evenly into the pan.
Melt the white chocolate in the microwave or using a double boiler, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Pour the melted white chocolate over the pressed mixture in the pan. Use a spatula to spread it into an even layer.
Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2-3 hours, or until the slice is firm and the chocolate is set.
Once chilled, remove the slice from the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 12 equal pieces and serve.
Store any leftover slices in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
