This is a very old family recipe that is so easy to make and so great for family and friends…..it’s a melt and mix recipe..the important thing it to make sure you pour the warm melted icing over the slice straight out of the oven.
Ingredients:
- 125g unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tbsp Dutch cocoa
- ¼ cup desiccated coconut
- 1 cup self raising flour
Method:
- Melt butter and brown sugar together in a saucepan, when melted remove from heat and cool slightly.
- Add egg, salt, cocoa, coconut and flour and mix together.
- Press into a slice tin and bake at 180°C for 15 minutes.
Icing:
- 1 cup icing sugar
- 1 tbsp Dutch cocoa
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp boiling water
Method:
- While the base is cooking, mix butter and water together in a small saucepan on the stove top
- Mix in cocoa and icing sugar and stir until melted and lump free.
- Remove slice from oven and pour warm icing over while still hot, this way it melts into the base and makes it all fudgey and gooey.
- Enjoy……but try to stop at one it is really difficult!
