Ingredients

• 4 pieces Weetbix
• 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
• 1 cup Desiccated coconut
• 0.5 cup Sugar
• 1 cup Plain flour
• 125 grams Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 1.5 cups Icing sugar
• 2 tablespoons Extra cocoa powder (for icing)
• 2 tablespoons Milk (for icing)
• 20 grams Extra unsalted butter (for icing)
• 2 tablespoons Extra desiccated coconut (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a rectangular slice tin (approximately 28cm x 18cm) with baking paper.

Step 2

Crumble the Weetbix into a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Add cocoa powder, desiccated coconut, sugar, and plain flour to the bowl. Mix the dry ingredients together until combined.

Step 4

Melt the butter over low heat on the stovetop or in the microwave. Once melted, pour it into the dry ingredients along with the milk.

Step 5

Mix the wet and dry ingredients together until the mixture is well combined and starts to come together into a sticky dough-like consistency.

Step 6

Press the mixture firmly into the prepared slice tin, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

Bake the slice in the preheated oven for approximately 15 minutes or until it feels firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the tin.

Step 8

While the slice is cooling, prepare the chocolate icing. In a bowl, sift the icing sugar and cocoa powder together to remove any lumps.

Step 9

Add the remaining milk and melted butter (for the icing) to the bowl, then stir until smooth and spreadable. If the icing is too thick, add a small amount of extra milk, a teaspoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

Step 10

Once the slice has cooled, spread the chocolate icing evenly over the top.

Step 11

Sprinkle extra desiccated coconut over the icing, if desired, for additional texture and flavor.

Step 12

Allow the icing to set completely before slicing the slice into squares or rectangles. Serve and enjoy!
