Ingredients

• 200 grams unsalted butter
• 150 grams brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 200 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 30 grams cocoa powder
• 100 grams desiccated coconut
• 50 milliliters milk
• 200 grams dark chocolate
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil (or butter)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the brown sugar and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and cocoa powder. Add the desiccated coconut and mix well.

Step 4

Pour the melted butter mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until combined. Gradually add the milk, stirring until a thick but spreadable dough forms.

Step 5

Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan using the back of a spoon or your hands.

Step 6

Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are firm and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 7

While the slice is cooling, melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil (or butter) in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth.

Step 8

Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the cooled slice, spreading it evenly with an offset spatula.

Step 9

Let the chocolate set at room temperature or refrigerate for faster results.

Step 10

Once the chocolate has hardened, slice into 12 even pieces and serve. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
