Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 1 cup dessicated coconut
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup condensed milk
- 200 grams dark chocolate
- optional toppings (e.g., sprinkles or shredded coconut)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 20x20 cm (8x8 inch) baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour, dessicated coconut, and brown sugar. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and condensed milk together until smooth. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
Pour the melted butter and condensed milk mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix until a thick, sticky dough forms.
Transfer the dough to the prepared baking pan. Use the back of a spoon or your hands to press it firmly and evenly into the pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. Remove and allow to cool completely in the pan.
While the base is cooling, melt the dark chocolate in a double boiler or microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between until smooth.
Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the cooled slice base. If desired, sprinkle with toppings like sprinkles or shredded coconut before the chocolate sets.
Refrigerate the slice for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate is firm.
Once set, remove from the pan and cut into 12 even squares or rectangles. Serve and enjoy!
