How to Make Coconut Chocolate Slice
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a baking tray (approximately 8x8 inches).
- In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups desiccated coconut, 1 cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and ¾ cup granulated sugar. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, melt ½ cup unsalted butter. Let it cool slightly, then beat in 1 large egg until well combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients (melted butter and egg) to the dry ingredients (coconut mixture). Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared baking tray.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- While the slice is still hot, prepare the icing.
- **Icing:** In a small saucepan, combine ¼ cup unsalted butter, ½ cup desiccated coconut, and ¼ cup milk. Simmer over low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Remove from heat and pour the icing evenly over the hot slice.
- Let the slice cool completely before cutting into squares. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes for easier cutting and to allow the flavors to meld.
- Cut into squares and serve. Enjoy!
