Recipe type: Gluten Free, Baking
What you'll need
  • 1½ cups desiccated coconut
  • 1 cup plain gluten free flour (am loving white wings or macro)
  • 100g unsalted butter
  • ¾ can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups icing sugar ( I made mine from raw sugar)
  • 40g softened butter or margarine
  • 1 orange or 1 large (2 small) lemon/s, juiced
Instructions
  1. In a saucepan melt the butter and sweetened condensed milk until the butter has just melted.
  2. Pour into the 1¼ cups coconut and flour and mix together.
  3. If your mixture feels very wet then add in the last ¼ cup of coconut. I found I needed that extra ¼ cup but everyone is different so see how you go.
  4. Press into a silicone lamington tin or a lamington tin lined with baking paper which makes it easier to lift out of the tin.
  5. Bake in a 180 degrees oven for about 10 minutes until golden on top. If your oven tends to be hotter then reduce heat slightly but you basically want the mixture to be cooked and lightly (ever so lightly golden).
  6. Remove from the oven and leave to cool.
  7. Make your icing sugar - I do this by placing 2 cups of raw sugar into my thermomix and processing on speed 9 for 30 seconds. Add in juice or a big lemon or an orange and softened butter (or margarine) and process for about 20 seconds speed 4. Scrape down and process for another 10 -20 seconds.
  8. You can do this in a food processor or just with a good old wooden spoon. Whatever you have.
  9. Spread onto the cooled base and sprinkle with more coconut
  10. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, slice and enjoy.
  11. This can be made the day before and taken out to an event and will keep everyone happy.
