4.2 from 37 reviews

This classic Aussie no bake chocolate peppermint slice is a delightful dessert that combines a chocolate biscuit base, a creamy peppermint filling, and a rich chocolate topping. Made with simple pantry ingredients like condensed milk, cocoa, and peppermint extract, it requires no oven and comes together quickly with chilling as the main cooking step.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 17 minutes
  • Yield: 20 squares

Ingredients

Base

  • 250 grams plain sweet biscuits (Marie biscuits)
  • 395 grams condensed milk
  • 150 grams desiccated coconut (around 1.5 cups)
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder

Peppermint Filling

  • 270 grams icing sugar (around 2 cups)
  • 3-4 tablespoons cream (adjust for thicker or thinner filling)
  • 2 teaspoons peppermint extract (adjust to taste)

Chocolate Topping

  • 200 grams dark chocolate
  • 25 grams butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: Spray and line a 20cm square or 17cm x 27cm slice pan with baking paper. Crush the plain sweet biscuits using a rolling pin or food processor, then place the crushed biscuits into a mixing bowl if needed. Add the desiccated coconut and cocoa powder, mixing until combined.
  2. Mix Base Ingredients: Add the condensed milk to the biscuit mixture and stir to form a thick paste. Press this mixture evenly into the prepared pan. Place another piece of baking paper over the base and use a metal spoon to smooth it out (the paper prevents sticking). Remove the paper after smoothing.
  3. Make Peppermint Filling: Using a palette knife, whisk, or hand mixer, beat together the icing sugar, cream, and peppermint extract until smooth and creamy. Adjust cream amount to get desired thickness.
  4. Assemble Filling: Pour the peppermint filling evenly over the biscuit base and smooth the surface. Refrigerate the slice for 30 minutes to set the filling.
  5. Prepare Chocolate Topping: Melt the dark chocolate and butter together using a double boiler or microwave, stirring until smooth. Let the mixture cool slightly so it’s still pourable but not hot.
  6. Top the Slice: Pour the slightly cooled chocolate topping evenly over the set peppermint filling. Place the slice back in the refrigerator for another 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to firm up.
  7. Serve: Once fully chilled and set, cut the slice into approximately 20 squares and serve chilled for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • You can melt the chocolate and butter in short bursts in the microwave, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
  • Use a metal spoon and baking paper to smooth the base evenly without sticking.
  • Adjust peppermint extract quantity depending on your flavor preference.
  • This slice is best stored refrigerated and tastes great served chilled.
  • For a firmer filling, reduce cream slightly or increase icing sugar.
