Nanna’s choc coconut slice

Giving credit where it’s due – this is my grandmother’s recipe.  She used to make it often when we were kids, and it was one of the things we specifically requested.

Awesome with a glass of milk (but then, what dessert isn’t?).

Ingredients – slice:

• 1 & 1/2 cups desiccated coconut
• 1 & 1/2 cups self-raising flour
• 1 cup icing sugar
• 1/4 cup cocoa
• 250g butter, melted

Ingredients – icing:

• 3 tbsp icing sugar
• 3 tsp cocoa
• 2-3 tsp water

Method:

• Preheat oven to 180ºC
• Line a 12″ x 9″ slice tin with baking paper
• Place all dry ingredients in a bowl and mix together
• Pour melted butter over dry ingredients and stir to combine
• Press into tin and bake for approx. 20 minutes
• Leave in tray to cool
• Combine all icing ingredients and mix together
• Whilst slice is still slightly warm, spread icing on top and sprinkle with more coconut

Om-nom-licious.
