TIP! We used Hershey’s caramel-flavoured syrup, but any caramel dessert topping can be used. Omit coffee granules for a kid-friendly version. Undecorated slice can be made up to one day ahead. Decorate just before serving.                Â
Ingredients
Method
Grease an 18cm x 28cm rectangular slice pan. Line base and sides with baking paper, extending paper 5cm above pan edges.Â
To make base, combine flour, sugar and coconut in a large bowl. Mix well. Stir in butter until combined. Press over base of prepared pan.Â
Cook in a moderate oven (180C) for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until light golden.Â
Meanwhile, make filling. Combine milk, syrup and butter in a large saucepan. Dissolve coffee in 2 tablespoons boiling water in a heatproof jug. Add to pan. Stir constantly over a medium heat for about 8 minutes, or until boiling and slightly thickened. Remove from heat.Â
Remove base from oven. Pour over hot filling. Smooth over top. Return to moderate oven.Â
Cook for a further 8 minutes or until golden brown. Remove. Cool slice in pan. Refrigerate for about 1 hour, or until cold. Â
To serve, beat cream and vanilla in a small bowl of an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a 13mm star nozzle.
Using baking paper, lift slice out of pan. Pipe cream over top. Drizzle with syrup. Cut into pieces.Â
