Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 g unsalted butter
- 100 g granulated sugar
- 30 g unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 75 g desiccated coconut
- 250 g crushed digestive biscuits (or graham crackers)
- 200 g dark chocolate
- 50 ml heavy cream
- 15 g additional desiccated coconut for topping (optional)
Instructions
Line a 20cm x 20cm (8-inch x 8-inch) square baking pan with parchment paper, allowing the edges to hang over for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, stir in the granulated sugar and cocoa powder until smooth and well combined.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Add the desiccated coconut and crushed digestive biscuits to the saucepan. Mix until all ingredients are evenly coated with the chocolate mixture.
Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared baking pan, creating a compact base. Use the back of a spoon or a spatula to smooth the surface.
In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate and heavy cream together using a double boiler or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring frequently until smooth and glossy.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the biscuit base, spreading evenly to cover the entire surface.
Sprinkle additional desiccated coconut on top, if desired, for extra texture and decoration.
Refrigerate the slice for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate is set and the slice is firm.
Once set, use the parchment paper to lift the slice out of the pan. Cut into 16 squares or rectangles using a sharp knife, cleaning the knife between cuts for a clean finish.
Store the slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
