Cuts into 16 squares

This chocolate coconut slice is so nice. It’s super yummy, super easy and egg-free! I converted it to the Thermomix from  the Queensland Flood Relief book A Generous Helping, which is one of my most loved recipe collections. I hope you love this slice as much as we do! If you want to whip this up with an old fashioned bowl and spoon, it’s easy! Find the recipe here.
