Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 200g good-quality dark chocolate
  • 150g fresh raspberries (or frozen, thawed and drained)
  • 100g desiccated coconut
  • 150g sweetened condensed milk
  • 50g unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: 50g chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts, pecans) or seeds as desired

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Pan: Line a square baking pan (around 20cm x 20cm) with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides to make removal of the slices easy later on.
  2. Melt the Chocolate and Butter: Gently melt the dark chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring continuously until the mixture is silky smooth and fully combined.
  3. Mix in Condensed Milk and Vanilla: Add the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract to the melted chocolate mixture. Stir thoroughly until everything is well combined and forms a luscious, glossy base to bind the ingredients.
  4. Fold in Raspberries, Coconut, and Nuts: Carefully fold in the fresh raspberries, desiccated coconut, and optional chopped nuts or seeds. Gently mix to ensure even distribution without crushing the raspberries, keeping their shape intact.
  5. Spread and Chill: Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly using a spatula. Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours or until the slice mixture is firm and set.
  6. Slice and Serve: Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the slab from the pan. Cut it into squares or rectangles as desired and serve chilled.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm raspberries to avoid excess moisture that can make the slices soggy.
  • Ensure thorough chilling for at least 2 hours for clean, firm slices.
  • Line the pan with parchment paper to make removal and slicing easier and cleaner.
  • Fold raspberries gently to keep their shape and avoid turning the mixture watery or pink.
  • Use high-quality dark chocolate for richer taste and smoother texture.
  • Frozen raspberries should be thawed and drained well before use.
  • Warm your knife under hot water and wipe dry before slicing for neat edges.
