Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 g Chocolate biscuits (crushed)
- 125 g Unsalted butter (melted)
- 100 ml Sweetened condensed milk
- 50 g Desiccated coconut
- 150 g Glacé cherries (halved)
- 200 g Dark chocolate
- 2 tsp Vegetable oil
Instructions
Line a 20cm x 20cm (8-inch x 8-inch) baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang to make it easier to lift the slice out later.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed chocolate biscuits, melted butter, sweetened condensed milk, and desiccated coconut. Stir until the mixture is well combined and forms a sticky base.
Fold in the halved glacé cherries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, using the back of a spoon or your hands to smooth out the surface. Refrigerate the base for 15 minutes to set slightly.
Meanwhile, melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler method) or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between. Add the vegetable oil to the chocolate and mix until glossy and smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate over the chilled base, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Tap the dish lightly on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
Refrigerate the slice for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate topping has fully set.
Once set, lift the slice out of the baking dish using the parchment paper. Use a sharp knife to cut it into 12 even pieces. Wipe the knife clean between cuts for neat edges.
Store the slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. Serve chilled and enjoy!
