This No Bake Choc Cherry Slice was one of my all time FAVOURITE slices when I was growing up – and still is now! My Nan used to regularly make this when she came to visit and has even made it a couple of times to bring with her when she has flown up from Melbourne to visit us.
In my opinion this Cherry Ripe Slice is actually better than a store bought Cherry Ripe (there is more of it to enjoy after all!) and is surprisingly easy to make. I like to load it up with lots of glace cherries and I roughly chop mine into big chunks. You could easily add them whole or cut them into small pieces however if you prefer.
This recipe makes a BIG slice, so make sure your baking tin and tall enough to accommodate it. For a super thick slice you could instead use a 20cm square cake tin to give it a little more height.
No Bake Choc Cherry Slice
Ingredients
- 1 pack of Chocolate Ripple biscuits- or similar
- 110 g of butter - melted
- 200 g of glace cherries
- 395 g of condensed milk
- 2 ½ cups 200g of desiccated coconut
- 200 g of milk chocolate
Instructions
- Line a 28 x 18cm slice tin with baking paper, make sure you leave plenty of paper hanging over the edges to help you remove the Cherry Ripe Slice from the tin.
- Crush the biscuits until they are small crumbs. Place them into a bowl along with the melted butter and stir to combine.
- Pour the biscuit mixture into your prepared tin and push down with the back of a metal spoon to flatten the surface before popping into the fridge.
- Roughly chop the glace cherries (optional) and put them into a bowl. Add the condensed milk and coconut and mix well to combine.
- Pour and spread the cherry mixture over the chilled biscuit base (I find using two spoons is the easiest way to do this) and push down with the back of a metal spoon to flatten the surface. Place the slice into the fridge to chill for half an hour.
- Break the milk chocolate into pieces and place in a microwave safe bowl and cook for 30 second spurts until the chocolate has melted.
- Pour the melted chocolate over the top of the no bake Cherry Ripe Slice and put back into the fridge until it's set.
- Cut into small pieces and enjoy.
