Ingredients
For the Dough
- 2 cups plain biscuits graham crackers or vanilla wafers, finely crushed
- 5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- ½ cup whole milk
For the Filling
- 1 cup shredded coconut flakes
- ⅔ cup powdered sugar
- Butter – Softened unsalted butter
Instructions
Prepare the Dough
- Crush the biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or blender, then place them in a large mixing bowl. Add the cocoa powder and sugar, stirring until evenly combined. Slowly pour in the milk while mixing until the ingredients come together into a soft dough. Knead gently with your hands until smooth, then set aside.
Make the Coconut Filling
- In a separate bowl, combine shredded coconut and powdered sugar. Add the softened butter and mix well until the filling is creamy and holds together easily. This sweet coconut layer will perfectly complement the chocolate base.
Roll Out the Dough
- Place the dough on a clean surface and roll it into a rectangular shape with a rolling pin. To make handling easier, cover it with plastic wrap, flip it over, and then carefully peel the wrap off. The dough is now ready for the filling.
Add the Filling
- Spread the coconut mixture evenly across the surface of the dough, making sure it reaches the edges. Gently press it down so it sticks, ensuring every slice has the ideal balance of chocolate and coconut.
Roll and Chill
- Starting from one end, roll the dough tightly into a log. Wrap the roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3–4 hours, or until firm. Chilling helps it set and makes slicing much easier.
Slice and Serve
- Once the roll is fully chilled, unwrap and slice it into even pieces with a sharp knife. Arrange the slices on a serving plate and enjoy your easy no-bake coconut dessert—a perfect treat for parties, holidays, or a quick homemade indulgence.
