Ingredients
- 125 g 4oz butter, melted
- 1 cup 220g (8oz) firmly packed brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence
- ½ cup plain flour
- ¼ cup self raising flour
- 2 tablespoons cocoa
- ½ cup desiccated coconut
- 1 tablespoon shredded coconut
- 1 cup icing sugar
- 2 tablespoons cocoa
- 2 teaspoons butter
- 1 tablespoon hot water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180C/360F (160C/320Ffan-forced).
- Grease and line 19x29cm slice pan and leave 2cm of lining over each side.
- Combine butter, sugar, egg and vanilla.
- Stir in sifted flours and cocoa then add coconut (I used all one type of coconut, I don’t think it matters).
- Spread the mixture into the pan and bake for 25 minutes or until firm.
- Make the icing while the base is baking.
- Combine all ingredients (you might need a little extra water) until smooth.
- Remove base from oven and spread the icing straight away.
- Sprinkle with coconut.
- Once cool, slice into 30 triangles.
Notes
Tip: Make sure you spread the icing on when the slice is fresh out of the oven. You want it to melt through a little bit to add to the chewiness.
Storage: Store in an airtight container for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months.
