Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups crushed digestive biscuits (or graham crackers)
- 1 cup desiccated coconut
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Marshmallow Topping
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Chocolate Glaze
- 4 oz dark chocolate, chopped
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
- Prepare the base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed digestive biscuits, desiccated coconut, and cocoa powder for the dry base mixture.
- Mix wet ingredients into base: Add the melted butter, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir thoroughly until well combined.
- Press the base into the pan: Line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper. Evenly press the mixture into the base using the back of a spoon to smooth and compact it.
- Chill the base: Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or until the base is firm and set.
- Prepare the marshmallow topping: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until completely melted and smooth.
- Apply the marshmallow layer: Remove the melted marshmallow mixture from heat and let it cool slightly. Spread it evenly over the chilled biscuit base in the pan.
- Prepare the chocolate glaze: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the dark chocolate and heavy cream in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
- Pour the glaze over marshmallows: Evenly pour the melted chocolate glaze on top of the marshmallow layer, using a spatula to spread it smoothly.
- Chill the slice to set: Return the pan to the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until fully set and firm.
- Serve: Once set, cut into squares and serve your delicious Hot Chocolate Slice.
Notes
- Use parchment paper in the pan to easily lift the slice out once set.
- Digestive biscuits can be substituted with graham crackers if preferred.
- Ensure the marshmallow mixture is not too hot when spreading to avoid melting the base.
- Adjust the cocoa powder to taste for a milder or stronger chocolate flavor.
- This slice keeps well refrigerated and can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
