Description
This recipe is usually rolled into balls and coated in desiccated coconut (Rum Balls β without the rum!).
However, instead of rolling the mixture into balls, I have opted to place it into a tin, which assists in a quicker and less messy process!
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 250g Arnottβs Marie biscuits or similar biscuits
- 1/4 cup organic cacao powder
- 1/2 cup organic desiccated coconut and extra for top and bottom of the slice
- 1 x 395g tin sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Line a 9cm x 26cm bar tin with baking paper leaving some paper overhanging so it is easier to remove when set.
- Crush biscuits in a food processor.
- Place crushed biscuits in a mixing bowl along with cacao powder, desiccated coconut, and condensed milk.
- Stir well until combined.
- Sprinkle extra coconut on the bottom of the tin.
- Place the mixture into the tin and press down and smooth with the back of a spoon.
- Sprinkle more coconut on the top of the slice and place it in the fridge to set.
- I usually keep mine overnight, though a few hours are sufficient.
- Lift the slice out of the tin and place it on a chopping board.
- Using a sharp knife, thinly slice the chocolate slice and arrange it on a plate to serve.
Notes
If you require gluten-free, you can substitute Marie biscuits for a gluten-free biscuit.
