Condensed Milk Biscuit Slice

  • Author: Imili Johnson
  • Total Time: 3 hours 20 minutes (including chilling)

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients:

Base:

  • 250g plain sweet biscuits (e.g. Arnott’s Marie or Nice), crushed

  • 1 cup (90g) desiccated coconut

  • ½ cup (75g) sultanas or chopped dried apricots (optional, for added texture and sweetness)

  • 125g unsalted butter

  • 1 tin (395g) sweetened condensed milk

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping (Optional but Recommended):

  • 200g milk or white chocolate, melted

  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) vegetable oil or cream (makes slicing easier and gives a glossy finish)

  • Extra desiccated coconut or crushed biscuits for garnish

Instructions

Preparation: Step 1: Crush the biscuits

Place the sweet biscuits in a food processor and pulse until they become fine crumbs. Alternatively, you can place them in a zip-lock bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Some larger crumbs add texture, so don’t overdo it.

Step 2: Mix dry ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed biscuits, desiccated coconut, and dried fruit (if using). Mix well to distribute the ingredients evenly.

Step 3: Melt the butter and combine with condensed milk

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the condensed milk and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and combined.

Step 4: Combine wet and dry

Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to stir until everything is evenly coated. The mixture should be sticky and able to hold together when pressed.

Step 5: Press into tin

Line a 20cm x 20cm square tin or slice pan with baking paper, ensuring the sides hang over for easy removal later. Transfer the mixture into the tin and press down firmly to create an even layer. Use the back of a spoon or flat-bottomed glass for a smooth finish. Place the base in the fridge to chill for at least 1 hour.

Step 6: Prepare the optional chocolate topping

While the base is chilling, melt your chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler method), or in the microwave in short bursts, stirring between each. Stir in the vegetable oil or cream to make the chocolate glossy and easier to slice later.

Step 7: Spread topping and garnish

Once the base is set, pour the melted chocolate over the top and spread evenly. Sprinkle with extra coconut or crushed biscuits for added texture and visual appeal. Return the slice to the fridge and chill for another 1–2 hours, or until the topping is firm.

Step 8: Slice and serve

Use the baking paper to lift the slice out of the tin. Cut into squares using a sharp knife, warming the blade in hot water and drying it before slicing for clean edges. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
