Press into a tin and top with melted white chocolate and mini Easter eggs.
Just 3 simple steps... this Easter slice could not be any easier!!!
Tips For Making A Hedgehog Easter Slice
- You can use any brand of plain sweet biscuits (or cookies if you're in the US). I generally use Arnott's Scotch Finger biscuits.
- Roughly chop the biscuits (it's fine to have some larger chunks remaining).
- Use desiccated coconut (fine coconut), not shredded coconut.
- You can use any brand of milk chocolate (or dark chocolate if you prefer).
- Use full fat sweetened condensed milk as it sets firmer.
- Add a little vegetable oil or coconut oil to the white chocolate when melting - this makes it easier to cut into slices
- You can use any type of mini Easter eggs you like (I used Cadbury mini eggs which are small chocolate eggs with pastel coloured candy coating).
- Store this slice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Recipes For Using Up Leftover Easter Eggs
Are leftover Easter eggs actually a real thing?? I don't think we've ever had leftovers after Easter.. but if you have more self control than us, then these recipes are a great way to use up those last few leftover Easter eggs:
- Easter Egg Rocky Road
- Salted Caramel Mousse Easter Egg Cups
- Easter Bunny Bark
- Easter Chocolate Caramel Tart
- Easter Egg Brownies
