Instructions
Base
- Pre-heat oven to moderate (180 degrees celsius, fan-forced).
- Grease a slice tin (approximately 28 x 18cm) and line with baking paper - leaving longer edges on two opposite sides so you can lift the slice from the tray once set.
- Cream butter and sugar until a lighter, creamy colour.
- Stir through coconut.
- Stir through sifted flour and cocoa until well combined.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared slice tin and press out evenly using your fingertips. Even out further using the back of a spoon.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- Make the icing during the baking time as this slice is iced while hot.

Icing
- Sift icing sugar and cocoa into a bowl.
- Add coconut and mix to combine.
- Stir through condensed milk.
- Add enough of the boiling water to form a paste that will be runny enough to spread over the biscuit base.
- Once biscuit base is removed from the oven, pour the icing over the base and spread out evenly with a butter knife.
- Place in fridge to set.
- Once set, cut into 24 pieces.
