Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers or digestive biscuits
  • 1 cup desiccated coconut
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Chocolate Topping

  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil or butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to allow easy removal of the slice once set.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, desiccated coconut, and unsweetened cocoa powder. Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the sweetened condensed milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract into the dry mixture. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is well coated and forms a thick, sticky consistency.
  4. Press Mixture into Pan: Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and use a spatula or the back of a spoon to press it firmly and evenly into the base of the pan, creating a compact layer.
  5. Melt Chocolate Topping: In a heatproof bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil together using a double boiler method or microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring after each until smooth and glossy.
  6. Spread Chocolate: Pour the melted chocolate over the pressed base and use a spatula to spread it evenly across the surface.
  7. Chill: Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours or until the chocolate topping is firm and set.
  8. Serve: Use the parchment overhang to lift the set slice out of the pan, cut into 16 squares, and serve chilled.

Notes

  • For added texture and flavor, consider mixing in chopped nuts or dried fruits into the base mixture.
  • A sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top enhances the chocolate flavor and adds a pleasant contrast.
  • Store the slice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • For longer storage, these slices freeze well – thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
