Ingredients

Preparation procedure

  • Preparing the dough In a bowl, beat the egg with the powdered sugar until light and frothy. Add the honey, oil and milk. Finally, fold in the sifted flour mixed with the baking powder. Pour the finished batter onto a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 160 °C for about 20 minutes. To be sure, test with a skewer to see if the batter is done. Let the baked base cool completely and then cut into squares.
  • Chocolate glaze In a saucepan, mix the sugar, cocoa and milk and briefly bring everything to a simmer. After the sugar has dissolved, add the butter and stir until everything comes together into a smooth glaze.
  • Coating in coconut Prepare two bowls – one with the chocolate glaze and the other with the grated coconut. Dip each square first in the glaze and then coat it in coconut.
