This Easy Hedgehog Slice is a no-bake, decadent chocolate dessert combining crunchy biscuits, rich butter, smooth condensed milk, and dark chocolate with coconut and cocoa powder. Perfect as a quick treat or impressive dessert, it’s simple to make, requiring no oven, and results in a fudgy, textured slice topped with a glossy chocolate coating.

  • Total Time: 4 hours 25 minutes (including chilling)
  • Yield: 12 slices

Ingredients

Main Mixture

  • 250 grams Marie biscuits or Arrowroot, Nice, Milk Coffee or any other plain, sweet tea biscuit
  • 100 grams butter at room temperature, cut into cubes
  • ¾ cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 150 grams dark chocolate 45% cocoa, broken into small pieces
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
  • ⅔ cup desiccated coconut, finely shredded
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder, sifted

Topping

  • 210 grams dark chocolate, broken into small pieces
  • 50 grams butter, room temperature, cut into cubes

Instructions

  1. Prepare Biscuits: Place the biscuits in a large ziplock bag and gently crush them with a rolling pin until mostly broken but with some larger chunks for texture.
  2. Melt Butter and Chocolate: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the 100 grams of butter along with the 150 grams of dark chocolate, stirring constantly until smooth and fully melted.
  3. Add Condensed Milk and Vanilla: Remove from heat and stir in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla bean paste until fully combined.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mix together the crushed biscuits, desiccated coconut, and sifted cocoa powder.
  5. Mix Wet with Dry: Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the biscuit mixture and mix thoroughly to coat all pieces evenly.
  6. Press into Pan: Line a square slice pan (~20×20 cm) with baking paper. Transfer the mixture into the pan and press down firmly to create an even layer.
  7. Make the Chocolate Topping: Melt the 210 grams of dark chocolate and 50 grams of butter together in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or gently in the microwave, stirring until smooth.
  8. Pour Topping over Slice: Pour the melted chocolate topping evenly over the biscuit base and smooth the surface with a spatula.
  9. Chill Set: Refrigerate the slice for at least 3-4 hours or until completely set and firm.
  10. Serve: Once set, cut into squares or rectangles and serve chilled. Keep refrigerated for best texture and freshness.

Notes

  • You can substitute Marie biscuits with any plain sweet biscuits you prefer.
  • Ensure the butter and chocolate for the base are fully melted for smooth mixing.
  • Vanilla extract can be used instead of vanilla bean paste without affecting flavor quality.
  • Press the mixture firmly into the pan to avoid a crumbly slice.
  • Store the slice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with a vegan margarine and use a dairy-free condensed milk alternative.
