To make the base
Mix the biscuit crumbs, coconut and nuts in a mixing bowl
In a small saucepan, gently melt the butter, sugar and cocoa powder. Don't worry if this mixture splits, you'll be mixing it into the biscuit/nut/coconut in a minute.
Whisk gently, then pour over your biscuit/coconut/nut mixture, and using a spatula, mix well, until everything seems well coated.
Refrigerate for at least a couple of hours.
Custard Layer
Add all the custard ingredient layers to a mixing bowl, and, using a hand-whisk, blend until thick and smooth.
Using a spatula, spread over your chilled biscuit base.
Refrigerate for another 10 minutes or so.
Chocolate Icing
In a small microwaveable bowl, add the chocolate and butter.
Microwave for about 30-40 seconds until melted. Mix until smooth and amalgamated.
Pour over the custard layer and spread to coat, using a spatula.
Chill until the chocolate is set.
Cut into squares.
Please note that where the recipe asks for milk, butter or yogurt, this refers to any plant-based version that you prefer.
