Lemon coconut-ice slice

This recipe is one of my favourites from Lola Berry’s cookbook. She has a recipe book called ‘The Happy Cookbook’.

Makes around 9 slices

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup of shredded coconut
  • ¼ cup of maple syrup or honey
  • ¼ cup of melted coconut oil
  • A dash or vanilla extract
  • 3 eggs, regular size
  • Zest and the juice of 1 lemon
  • ¼ cup of almond meal (or plain flour)
  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder
  • A pinch of salt

Method:

The method is easy. First pre heat the oven to 180 degrees C and line a 20 x 20 cm baking tray with baking paper.

Combine all the ingredients in one bowl; the mixture will be quite thick. Spoon all the mixture into the tray you have prepared and pop in the oven for 20 minutes. When ready, skewer should come out clean if inserted into the slice. If it is not, just cook for a little longer.

Remove it from the oven and let it cool for a while. Cut it into slices and serve or you can crumble it over your yoghurt or ice cream.
