Equipment

  • medium-sized round bowl
  • mixing bowl
  • wooden spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups desiccated coconut Extra for dusting
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • ½ cup butter softened
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 cup chocolate spread hazelnut or dark chocolate
  • Plastic wrap for lining the bowl

Instructions
 

  • Line a medium-sized round bowl (around 1.5 liters) with plastic wrap. Let the edges hang over so you can lift the dome out easily later.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine desiccated coconut, powdered sugar, and a pinch of salt. Add the softened butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Use a wooden spoon or your hands to mix until the texture becomes a soft, moldable dough.
  • Press about two-thirds of the coconut mixture firmly into the bowl, creating a thick layer that lines the entire inside.
  • Spoon the chocolate spread into the cavity, smoothing it out evenly. Leave about an inch from the top.
  • Use the remaining coconut mixture to cover the chocolate layer. Press gently but firmly to form a complete dome.
  • Cover the top with the excess plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours—or overnight—until completely firm.
  • Gently lift the dome out using the plastic wrap and invert it onto a serving plate. Remove the wrap and sprinkle generously with desiccated coconut.
  • Slice into wedges and serve.

Notes

This dessert is best served chilled and can be made a day in advance.
