Ingredients
Method
- In a medium-sized pot over low heat, combine cream, maple syrup, and sugar.
- Whisk the mixture over low heat until the coconut sugar has dissolved.
- Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to low and allow to simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
- Remove from heat and whisk through the coconut oil and salt until the coconut oil has completely melted through.
- Pour caramel sauce into a heat-proof glass jar or measuring jug, and place it in the refrigerator to thicken for 45 minutes.
- Line a 9 x 9 inch (22cm x 22cm) square baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a high-speed food processor, add biscuits and crush to a crumb.
- Pour crushed biscuits into a large mixing bowl.
- Pour in desiccated coconut and mix until well combined.
- Gradually pour in the caramel sauce and mix with a wooden spoon until well combined.
- Press mixture firmly into the lined pan into an even layer.
- Place in the refrigerator while you prepare the chocolate topping.
- Prepare a double boiler by placing a heat-proof mixing bowl over a small/medium-sized pot of simmering water.
- Add broken up chocolate (or chips) to the bowl along with the coconut oil.
- Gently melt over low-medium heat, stirring occasionally until completely melted and smooth. Once the chocolate has melted, remove it from the heat.
- Pour melted chocolate over the base. Pick up the pan and gently move around so chocolate spreads into an even layer on top.
- Refrigerate for 2-3 hours or until chocolate has completely hardened and the base is firm. Or leave it refrigerated overnight.
- Before slicing, remove the slice from the pan and allow it to sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes so the chocolate slightly softens, making it easier to cut through. TIP: run a sharp knife under hot water for a few seconds, wipe it dry, and cut the slice. This helps to minimize the chocolate from cracking.
- Serve and Enjoy!
