Caramel & Coconut Slice


Just taking a quick break from my usual programming (that is, HEALTHY FOOD) for something that is quite the opposite - oops!  Michelle Bridges, if you are reading this - I promise you I did not eat this slice!  I made it for a recent women's event (hey, they needed to be spoiled!) and it went like hotcakes, so it must have been good.  (I'm being honest, I didn't even try a little bit!)  Anyway, this was really quick and easy to make and certainly smelt delicious - I got it from the trusty www.taste.com.au.  Great for a little sweet treat...not so great for those on the 12 week body transformation!  Healthy recipes resume tomorrow :-)

Ingredients
1/2 cup (75g) plain flour
1/2 cup (75g) self-raising flour
1/2 cup (45g) desiccated coconut
1/2 cup (110) caster sugar
100g butter, melted
395g can sweetened condensed milk
2 tbs golden syrup
1/4 cup (55g) brown sugar
60g butter, melted, extra
2 eggs, lightly whisked
1/3 cup (75g) caster sugar, extra
2 cups (180g) desiccated coconut, extra

Method
Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease a slice pan. Line base and two opposite sides with baking paper, extending paper 5cm over edge of pan.

Combine sifted flours, coconut, caster sugar and butter in a medium bowl. Press mixture evenly over base of prepared pan. Cook for 15 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool slightly.

Combine sweetened condensed milk, golden syrup, brown sugar and extra butter in a medium bowl. Spread mixture evenly over base.

Combine eggs, extra sugar and extra coconut in a medium bowl and sprinkle evenly over filling. Cook for further 20 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool in pan. Cut slice into squares or triangles to serve.
