Makes 16
200g desiccated coconut
85g caster sugar
150g dark chocolate chips
85g glace cherries, halved
2 eggs, beaten
150g dark chocolate for melting
Tip: you will need a baking tray approx. 30cm x 20cm. The AGA Half Sized Hard Anodised Baking Tray is ideal, lined with greaseproof paper.
Method
- First melt the chocolate by placing in a heatproof bowl either on the back of the AGA if warm or in the AGA simmering oven for 15 mins or AGA warming oven for 20 - 30 mins.
- Meanwhile, combine the coconut, sugar, chocolate chips and glaze cherries together in a bowl until well mixed then add the eggs and mix into a gooey paste.
- Spoon the mixture into the lined tin and spread evenly, packing down firmly.
- Bake in the AGA baking oven, on the grid shelf on the floor, for 20 mins until golden brown and set.
- Remove from the oven, pour over the melted chocolate and spread over evenly.
- Leave to cool in the tin and slice into squares or fingers then store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge.
