Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Reduced-fat digestive biscuits
- 50 grams Light margarine
- 400 ml Light coconut milk
- 100 grams Light brown sugar
- 1 pinch Salt
- 2 tablespoons Cornflour
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 150 grams Dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a 20cm x 30cm baking tin and line it with parchment paper.
Crush the reduced-fat digestive biscuits in a food processor until they form fine crumbs.
Melt the light margarine in a microwave or small saucepan over low heat.
Mix the melted margarine with the biscuit crumbs until well combined.
Press the biscuit mixture firmly into the base of the prepared tin, ensuring an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, then remove and let cool.
In a medium saucepan, combine the light coconut milk, light brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Stir over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved.
Mix the cornflour with water to form a smooth paste, then add it to the coconut milk mixture.
Continue to cook while stirring constantly until the mixture thickens to a caramel consistency, about 10-12 minutes.
Pour the caramel evenly over the baked biscuit base and spread with a spatula.
Refrigerate the slice for about 15 minutes to firm up the caramel layer.
Melt the dark chocolate in a microwave or double boiler until smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate over the caramel layer and spread evenly.
Let the caramel slice chill in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours, or until fully set.
Once set, cut into 12 squares or rectangles before serving.
