  • 1 ½ cups (165g) desiccated coconut
  • 1/3 cup (80g) brown sugar
  • 1 cup (150g) self-raising flour

  • 1½ tbsp (30ml) boiling water
  • 2 cups (300g) icing sugar, sifted
  • Gold speckles, to serve (optional)

Method

  1. Grease and line a 30x20cm slice pan with baking paper.

  3. Combine remaining dry ingredients in a bowl and pour melted Fairy mixture on top. Fold or stir gently until combined.

Icing

  1. Melt Fairy and golden syrup in a small saucepan or microwave. Add icing sugar and stir to combine. Add boiling water and stir until smooth and thick. Spread over slice. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
  2. Cut into bars.

Tips:

  • Decorate with golden sprinkles for a festive flair.  We used gold sprinkles available from supermarkets
  • Add a pinch of sea salt to the base to make the flavours pop
  • We used quick oats as they have a smoother texture, but you can always blitz regular oats, this will make the slice chewier
  • Slice will keep for 3-4 days in an airtight container
