Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Line a 20x20 cm (8x8 inch) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed biscuits, toasted coconut, and chopped glacé cherries.
Pour in the sweetened condensed milk and melted butter, and stir until the mixture is well combined and forms a sticky dough-like consistency.
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.
Place the pan in the refrigerator to chill for 30-60 minutes or until the base is firm and set.
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.
Once the base has set, pour the melted chocolate evenly over the top, using a spatula to spread it out if needed.
Refrigerate the slice for an additional 1-2 hours, or until the chocolate topping has fully set.
Once set, remove the slice from the pan using the parchment overhang and transfer it to a cutting board.
Cut into 12 even slices or squares using a sharp knife. Serve chilled and enjoy!
