Hedgehog Slice

No ratings yet
Hedgehog Slice is a delicious and popular dessert originating from Australia. It is a no-bake treat made with crushed biscuits, cocoa powder, sweetened condensed milk, desiccated coconut, and often includes dried fruits or nuts for added texture and flavor. The mixture is then pressed into a slice pan, chilled until firm, and cut into small squares or slices, resembling the spiky appearance of a hedgehog.
