Simple and sweet 


Craving something sweet? Well this is the slice for you and it is so quick and easy.

You can adapt this recipe very easy, I tend to adjust the sugar to only half  the amount of sugar in the base.



           Ingredients

• 1 cup of plain flour
• 1 cup of desiccated coconut
• 1/3 cup caster sugar
• 120g unsalted butter, Melted (You can melt it in the microwave)
• 3/4 cup four fruits jam (use your imagination, try any flavour jam you like)
• 1 cup icing sugar
• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 1/3 cup shredded coconut.
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence (optional)
• 2 tablespoons of boiling water.

I'm a true believer of using what you’ve got. I don’t always have the right ingredients like caster sugar and shredded coconut, so I’ll use just plain sugar and whatever coconut I have. It still turns out great and tastes superb.

                Method

• Preheat oven to 200° or 180° fan forced. 
  
• Line base and sides of a 30x20cm slice tin (Remember use what you got)
  
• In a bowl combine 1 cup of flour, 1 cup of coconut, 1/3 cup sugar and melted butter.
  
• Press mixture using a fork into base of your slice tin. Bake in the oven for about 10min or until lightly golden, remove from oven and stand for 10 minutes.
  

• carefully spread over the icing. (this bit is pretty tricky to do, try not to disturb the jam. Then sprinkle with the coconut.
  
• Chill for about 4 hours.

 My partner and I planned our own version of “My Kitchen Rules” for our two children, who absolutely loved the whole experience.  It was the first time I had ever attempted a three course meal and I have to say it was a great success. Now all I need to do is get the courage to cook for a table of adults. 

I got this recipe from my favourite food magazine, which is one of the cheapest you can get for $4.00.
