Description
Iced VoVo Strawberry Slice is a classic Australian no-bake dessert featuring a crunchy biscuit base, a rich coconut and white chocolate filling, a layer of sweet strawberry jam, topped with toasted coconut and pink and white marshmallows for a delightful texture and flavor combination. Perfectly chilled, this slice offers a sweet, creamy treat with a nostalgic appeal.
Ingredients
Scale
Biscuit Base
- 250g plain sweet biscuits (such as Marie or digestive), crushed
- 125g unsalted butter, melted
Filling
- 395g can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups desiccated coconut
- 200g white chocolate, melted and cooled slightly
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping
- ¾ cup strawberry jam
- 1 cup shredded coconut, toasted
- 6 pink and white marshmallows, sliced thinly or halved lengthwise
Instructions
- Prepare the Base: Grease and line a 20cm square baking tin with baking paper, allowing some overhang on the sides. In a large bowl, combine the crushed biscuits and melted butter until the texture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the base of the prepared tin and refrigerate while preparing the filling.
- Make the Filling: In a medium bowl, mix the sweetened condensed milk, desiccated coconut, melted white chocolate, and vanilla extract until well combined. Pour the mixture over the chilled biscuit base and spread evenly.
- Apply the Jam Layer: Gently warm the strawberry jam to loosen it slightly, then carefully spread it over the coconut filling layer to create an even layer.
- Add the Toppings: Arrange the sliced marshmallow pieces in rows across the top, gently pressing them into the jam. Sprinkle evenly with toasted shredded coconut.
- Chill Until Set: Refrigerate the slice for at least 4 hours or until firm. For best results, chill overnight before slicing.
- Serve: Once set, lift the slice out of the tin using the overhanging baking paper. Cut into 16 slices or squares and serve chilled.
Notes
- For a shortcut, use mini marshmallows instead of slicing large marshmallows.
- The slice can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
- For a firmer set, allow the slice to chill overnight before slicing.
