Makes: 16 pieces Prep: 15 minutes, plus chilling Chill: 3–4 hours Tin: 20 cm square
Ingredients
Coconut base
- 250 g fine desiccated coconut
- 1 × 320 g tin Nature's Charm Dairy-Free Sweetened Condensed Coconut Milk
- 30 g coconut oil, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Chocolate topping
Method
- Line a 20 cm square tin with baking paper, leaving some overhang to lift out the slice.
- Stir together the condensed coconut milk, melted coconut oil and vanilla, if using. Add the desiccated coconut and mix well. Leave for 5 minutes; the mixture should be thick and hold together when pressed.
- Press firmly and evenly into the prepared tin using the back of a spoon. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Gently melt the chocolate with the extra teaspoon of coconut oil in a heatproof bowl over barely simmering water, keeping the bowl clear of the water. Stir until smooth.
- Spread the melted chocolate over the coconut base. Refrigerate for 3–4 hours, or overnight, until firm.
- Lift out of the tin and leave at room temperature for about 10 minutes. Cut into 16 pieces using a warm, dry knife.
Storage & tips
- Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- Use fine desiccated coconut rather than coconut thread for a base that holds together well.
- Press the base down firmly and allow plenty of chilling time before slicing.
