ingredients

  • 8 ounces all purpose flour
  • 6 ounces unsalted butter
  • 2 ounces white sugar
  • 3 ounces jello
  • 4 fluid ounce boiling water
  • 2 ounces powdered sugar
  • 2 ounces desiccated coconut

Method

  • Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350F/180C.

  • Step 2

    Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add sieved flour, mix, then spread into a lined tin (8″ square). Bake for 25-30 minutes and leave to cool.

  • Step 3

    Dissolve the jelly in the boiling water and allow to cool for 20-30 minutes.

  • Step 4

    Beat in the icing sugar until thick and much lighter in color. This takes a good 10 minutes, at least, so use a stand mixer or hand mixer.

  • Step 5

    Spread jelly mixture over the base and top with coconut.

  • Step 6

    Put in fridge to set overnight, then slice and enjoy!
