Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup desiccated coconut
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 395 grams condensed milk
• 2 tablespoons golden syrup
• 60 grams extra butter for caramel
• 200 grams dark chocolate
• 1 teaspoon vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, desiccated coconut, and brown sugar.

Step 3

Melt the 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter and mix it into the dry ingredients until a crumbly dough forms.

Step 4

Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan to form the base.

Step 5

Bake the base in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until it is slightly golden. Let it cool while preparing the caramel.

Step 6

For the caramel layer, combine the condensed milk, golden syrup, and extra 60 grams of butter in a medium saucepan.

Step 7

Place the saucepan over low heat, stirring continuously until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken, which should take about 10 minutes.

Step 8

Pour the thickened caramel over the baked base, ensuring an even spread.

Step 9

Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the caramel is golden and set. Allow it to cool completely.

Step 10

For the chocolate topping, chop the dark chocolate and melt it with the vegetable oil in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water.

Step 11

Once melted and glossy, pour the chocolate over the cooled caramel layer, smoothing it out with a spatula.

Step 12

Refrigerate the slice until the chocolate is firm, which should take at least 1 hour.

Step 13

Once set, remove from the refrigerator and slice into squares. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
