My gosh, this slice takes only 5 seconds to whip up, it will literally take you longer to get all the ingredients out of the cupboard than it will to stir together!  It’s one of our most popular recipes by far and one we are sure you and your family will love 💓

It seems so easy to grab a packet mix from the supermarket or store because we know how busy life can be, but, packet mixes are often super high in sugar, expensive, and filled with unwanted additives.

We like to top this slice using our basic icing recipe and some additive-free 100 & 1000s, however, if you would like to reduce the sugar intake, you can serve with a simple dusting of cacao or natural chocolate powder.

Hints and Tips:

  • the butter must be soft, even slightly melted
  • desiccated coconut often contains preservatives linked to asthma attacks
