This slice recipe was a classic childhood favourite growing up in New Zealand minus the sweetened condensed milk in the icing which gives it a modern day twist. Nothing like a crunchy base topped with a gooey chocolate coconut icing.

INGREDIENTS
Base
150g butter, softened
½ cup sugar
1 ½ cups plain flour
2 tbsp cocoa powder
pinch of salt
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1 teaspoon baking powder

Icing
2 cups icing sugar
100g butter, melted
4 tsp cocoa powder
2 cups coconut
2/3 tin sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp vanilla essence

METHOD
Preheat oven to 180˚C or 160˚C fan-forced. Grease and line a slice pan.
Cream the butter and sugar until pale. Mix in the dry ingredients and press into pan. Bake for 15 minutes.

ICING
Mix all the ingredients together in a medium sized bowl and spread over base while still warm. Leave to cool for 10 minutes. Cut while still warm.
