Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a 20cm square tin with parchment paper. Crush biscuits into fine crumbs. In a bowl, mix with melted butter and desiccated coconut until evenly combined. Press into the tin and bake for 15 minutes until golden.
  2. Step 2: Meanwhile, melt dark and milk chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a simmering water bath. Stir in cocoa powder and icing sugar until smooth. Add milk and whisk until glossy. Pour over the biscuit base and chill for 1 hour until set.
  3. Step 3: Cut into 16 squares and drizzle with additional melted chocolate for a glossy finish. Chill for 30 minutes before serving.
