Instructions

Prepare the Biscuit Base: In a large bowl, crush the digestive biscuits into small pieces but not into fine crumbs. Add the shredded coconut and stir well to combine the two for a textured base.
Make the Base Mixture: In a separate bowl, mix the melted unsalted butter, sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract thoroughly. Pour this chocolate mixture over the biscuit and coconut blend. If using, fold in the chopped nuts now to add extra crunch.
Press the Mixture into the Pan: Line an 8×8 inch square pan with parchment paper and press the biscuit mixture firmly and evenly into the pan to create an even layer. Place the pan in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the topping.
Prepare the Chocolate Topping: Combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second bursts, stirring between intervals until the mixture is melted completely and smooth.
Top the Slice: Pour the melted chocolate topping over the chilled biscuit base, spreading it evenly with a spatula to cover all the surface for a smooth finish.
Chill: Return the slice to the fridge and chill for at least 2 to 3 hours, or until the chocolate topping has set firmly and the slice is solid enough to cut.
Serve: Once fully chilled and set, slice into squares and serve. Enjoy this indulgent, no-bake chocolate and coconut slice as a perfect sweet treat!

Notes

Ensure biscuits are crushed into small pieces but not powder to maintain texture.
Using shredded coconut can be pre-sweetened or unsweetened based on your taste preference.
Chilling time is crucial to allow the slice to set properly for clean slicing.
Optional chopped nuts add a delightful crunch but can be omitted for a nut-free version.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days to keep the slice fresh.
