Notes

Recipe Tips
Malted milk powder - Milo is a brand of malted milk powder available in Australia. If you can't buy Milo, you can use any brand of malted milk powder you like. 
Chewy and dense base - there’s no rising agent in the base because we’re aiming for a really dense, rich and chewy taste (the Milo is what gives it the yummy little chewiness!). 
Mousse layer - this recipe makes quite a lot of mousse, so you might like to leave some of it off the slice (and keep it for a cheeky little snack on it's own). If you use all of the mousse, it will end up looking like the photos on this page (about 50% slice and 50% mousse). 
Egg-free mousse - this is not a traditional mousse recipe as it's made without raw eggs. 
Tips for cutting the slice - wait until the mousse has set before cutting it with a large flat knife. Press slowly and lightly down through the mousse layer and then press slightly harder when you feel the resistance from the chocolate base. Wipe the knife clean between cuts. Cut the slice into long bars before cutting into smaller pieces.
Chilling time - chill the slice in the fridge for 5 hours or until the mousse has completely set. 
Storing the slice - store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
