Easter Slice Ingredients
- Sweetened condensed milk - full-fat sets firmer and tastes better.
- White chocolate + coconut oil (topping) - the coconut oil helps stop the topping cracking when you slice.
- Mini Easter eggs - the festive finishing touch.
If you love condensed milk slices, you'll also love my Lemon Coconut Slice and Jelly Slice too.
Variations
- Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free plain biscuits.
- Dark Chocolate Base: Swap milk chocolate for dark if you like it richer.
- Nutty Version: Stir through chopped hazelnuts or almonds.
- Kids Party Version: Swap mini eggs for Smarties or sprinkles (similar fun vibes to my Easter Bunny Cupcakes).
How To Make Chocolate Hedgehog Easter Slice
It's as simple as it gets.
- Chocolate Mix: Combine chocolate, butter and sweetened condensed milk in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Melt: Heat gently in the microwave (50% power in 30 second bursts) until just melted - stir every 30 seconds.
- Mix Base: Add crushed biscuits, desiccated coconut and cocoa powder. Stir until well combined.
- Press In Tin: Firmly press the mixture into your prepared pan lined with baking paper.
- Top It: Melt white chocolate gently with coconut oil, pour over the base, then decorate with mini Easter eggs.
- Chill: Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until fully set before slicing.
Recipe Tips
- Roughly crush the biscuits - too fine and you lose the crunch.
- Press the base firmly - this stops crumbly slices.
- Don't rush the chill time - it cuts cleaner when fully firm.
- Hot knife = neat edges - run under hot water, wipe dry, slice.
- Fridge: Airtight container for up to 5 days.
- Freezer: Up to 3 months (note: speckled eggs may lose some colour).
Chocolate Hedgehog Easter Slice FAQs
Plain sweet biscuits (like Marie or Arrowroot style). Avoid cream-filled ones.
Yes - chopped walnuts, pecans, roasted hazelnuts or almonds add a delicious crunch.
Usually not pressed firmly enough - or too many biscuit chunks compared to chocolate mixture.
Let it sit out for 5-10 minutes, then use a warm sharp knife.
