Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 200 g plain biscuits Digestives or graham crackers can be used as alternatives.
  • 100 g butter Can be swapped with coconut oil for a subtler coconut flavor.
  • 1/2 cup desiccated coconut
Jam Layer
  • Jam (apricot, strawberry, or mixed berry) Use thicker jam to avoid base seepage.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line a square baking tin with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. Crush the biscuits into fine crumbs using a rolling pin or food processor.
  3. Melt the butter and pour it over the crushed biscuits in a mixing bowl. Stir until evenly combined.
  4. Add the desiccated coconut and mix well.
  5. Press half of the biscuit mixture firmly into the prepared tin to form an even base.
  6. Spread a generous layer of jam over the base, ensuring it reaches the edges.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining biscuit and coconut mixture over the jam and press gently to help it stick.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours, or until fully set.
Serving
  1. Once firm, lift out using the parchment paper, slice into squares or bars, and serve chilled.

Notes

Serve chilled for a refreshing treat. Dust with extra coconut or add toasted coconut flakes for an elevated presentation. Keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze separated by parchment for up to 1 month.
