Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers or plain digestive biscuits
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Topping Ingredients
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (or butter)
- 2 tablespoons shredded coconut (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the pan: Line an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, allowing a little overhang on the sides for easy removal of the slice later.
- Mix the base: In a large bowl, combine crushed graham crackers, shredded coconut, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir in the melted butter, condensed milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is fully combined and holds together when pressed.
- Press into pan: Firmly and evenly press the mixture into the prepared baking pan using the back of a spoon or your hands. Place the pan in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the topping.
- Melt the topping: In a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler, melt the chocolate chips alongside the coconut oil, stirring frequently until smooth and combined.
- Apply topping: Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the chilled base and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the top with the extra shredded coconut for garnish.
- Chill and set: Refrigerate the slice for at least 2 hours to allow it to fully set and firm up.
- Serve: Once fully set, lift the slice out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and cut into 16 squares or desired slice shapes. Serve chilled and enjoy.
Notes
- For extra texture and flavor, mix in 1/4 cup chopped nuts or dried fruit into the base mixture.
- This slice keeps well when stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
