Instructions

  1. Step 1: Place 200 g plain biscuits in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. Transfer crumbs to a large bowl and mix in 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut, 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk, and 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter until combined into a moist mixture.
  2. Step 2: Press the mixture firmly into a lined 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) square pan, smoothing the surface. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.
  3. Step 3: In a medium bowl, sift together 1/4 cup cocoa powder and 1 cup icing sugar. Stir in 1/3 cup boiling water and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Step 4: Melt 100 g chopped dark chocolate in a double boiler or microwave until glossy. Stir the melted chocolate into the cocoa glaze mixture until fully combined.
  5. Step 5: Pour the chocolate glaze evenly over the chilled biscuit base, spreading to cover. Sprinkle extra shredded coconut on top if desired.
  6. Step 6: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set. Cut into squares and serve as a luscious no-bake Australian-inspired dessert.
