Prepare the Coconut Layer:
In a saucepan, mix sugar, cornstarch, powdered milk, and shredded coconut.
Gradually whisk in milk, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
Cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens and bubbles.
Pour the mixture into a parchment-lined baking dish and smooth the top.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30-40 minutes until firm.
Prepare the Chocolate Layer:
Melt dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and cocoa butter together in a heatproof bowl over simmering water (double boiler) or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring each time.
Pour the melted chocolate over the coconut layer and spread evenly.
Chill and Serve:
Refrigerate the dish for another 15-20 minutes until the chocolate is fully set.
Slice into squares or bars and serve chilled.
Serving Suggestions
Garnish with shredded coconut or a drizzle of white chocolate for extra elegance.
Pair with espresso or herbal tea for a delightful snack.
Serve as a dessert after a savory meal for a sweet finish.
Cooking Tips
Use high-quality chocolate for a richer flavor.
For a nutty variation, sprinkle chopped almonds or hazelnuts over the chocolate layer before chilling.
If you don’t have cocoa butter, substitute with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil for a glossy finish.
