Ingredients
- 200g dark chocolate - chopped (around 70% cocoa solids)
- 50g salted or unsalted butter (soft at room temperature)
- 200g desiccated coconut
Instructions
- Line an 8 x 8 baking tin with parchment paper with enough parchment to hang over the edges of the tin. Set the tin aside. Place a saucepan of water over a high heat and allow to come to a boil. Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low.
- To a heatproof bowl that can fit over the saucepan, add the chocolate and butter then place the bowl over the saucepan ensuring the bottom of the bowl is not touching the water. If the bottom is touching the water then remove some of the water. Melt the chocolate and butter while continuously stirring. You can also melt the chocolate and in the microwave but be careful not to overheat the chocolate.
- Once the butter and chocolate have melted, remove the bowl from the saucepan and pour in the desiccated coconut. Combine them together until all the coconut is coated in chocolate.
- Tip the mixture into the baking tin and use a spatula or palette knife to press and smooth the mixture tightly into the tin.
- 5. Place the baking tin in the fridge for 1 - 2 hour to set. Once it has set, remove the whole square from the tin and cut into 16 squares. Do this by cutting the whole thing into 4 pieces then cut each piece into another 4 pieces then enjoy.
