Bounty Slice.

Bounty chocolate bars are something that I like and many times have thought how nice it would be to have a slice that was like a Bounty bar.

I have been playing around with this recipe idea for some time and have finally found a combination that provides a chocolatey biscuit base with a moist coconut filling. For the topping 200g of dark chocolate could be used, my preference is for a combination of dark and milk chocolate as this is more like the coating on the Bounty Bar.

 It has the bonus of being a no bake slice, however, it uses a lot of chocolate and butter and is therefor a little more expensive to make. It is quite rich so is best cut into smaller squares or fingers.

This is the coconut milk powder that I used. It is available in most large supermarkets. An alternative would be to boil/reduce 1 cup of canned coconut milk down to make 1/2 a cup.
