Why You’re Going To Love This Recipe
- No Bake – This easy recipe doesn't require an oven, so it's perfect for whipping up when you just don't feel like baking!
- 10 Minutes To Make – This no bake coconut slice only takes about 10 minutes to put together and then just sets in the fridge.
- So Easy – All you need to make this simple yet delicious slice is a handful of easy ingredients (mostly pantry staples!)
What You Need
- butternut snap biscuits – also known as cookies. Butternut snap biscuits are a crunchy oat cookie. If you're not familiar with these biscuits, you can use a regular digestive or, in the States, Nilla Wafers.
- desiccated coconut – finely ground coconut. You can make your own with shredded coconut if you are unable to locate desiccated in the store.
- butter - you can use either salted or unsalted butter for this recipe.
- sweetened condensed milk - I recommend using full fat (not skim) sweetened condensed milk.
- vanilla extract - or vanilla essence.
- milk chocolate – such as milk cooking chocolate or chocolate melts.
- coconut oil - this is optional but helps to avoid the chocolate from cracking when cut into pieces.
How To Make Coconut Slice Without Baking
Note: Scroll to the recipe card at the bottom for the ingredients quantities and full detailed method!
Step 1 – Mix The Biscuit Base
Crush the biscuits until they are similar to breadcrumbs. Place them in a bowl, then add the coconut and set the mixture to the side.
In a separate bowl, melt the butter in the microwave, then stir in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla.
Pour the butter mixture to the biscuit crumbs and mix until it looks a little like wet sand.
Turn the biscuit mixture into a slice tin and press down firmly.
Step 2 – Make The Chocolate Topping
Melt the coconut oil and chocolate together in the microwave. Pour the melted chocolate over the biscuit base and sprinkle with extra coconut.
Place the slice in the fridge to set.

What size slice tin do you use for this?
Lucy says
Generally an 18 X 28cm tin but I sometimes use a 20cm X 20cm - wither is fine!
Sabs says
Hi Lucy
Can I use dark baking chocolate?
Or half dark and half normal baking chocolate?
Lucy says
Absolutely!!

Just made this and it was delicious. We only had milk arrowroot biscuits and couldn’t go to get butternut snaps (Coronovirus self-isolation) but I still wanted to capture some of the taste that they would give. I toasted 50g oats then blitzed them with 200g milk arrowroots. I then added half a tablespoon of golden syrup to the butter and milk. It was delicious. I think toasting part of the coconut would have also been a good move.

Oh perfect!!!! Well done!!!
