Ingredients

• 395 grams sweetened condensed milk
• 250 grams unsweetened shredded coconut
• 100 grams all-purpose flour
• 100 grams granulated sugar
• 100 grams butter
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 20cm x 20cm (8-inch x 8-inch) baking tin with parchment paper.

Step 2

Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave until just liquid. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to combine.

Step 4

Add the melted butter, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients, and stir until fully mixed and a sticky dough forms.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking tin, and press it down evenly with the back of a spoon or your hands to create a compact layer.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are slightly crisp.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and allow the slice to cool completely in the tin before lifting it out using the parchment paper.

Step 8

Cut the slice into 12 equal squares or rectangles. Serve and enjoy!

Step 9

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
