Chocolate Coconut Squares

December 24, 2010 by Roxy

Chocolate Coconut Squares

This recipe was very popular years ago when I was a kid. In Romania is known as “Prajitura Tavalita”. The icing for the traditional recipe is made with cocoa but I’ve made my own version using chocolate instead. I know the original recipe from my aunt who lives in the same village as my grandparents; I spent most of my childhood vacations there. It is extremely easy to make and perfect for the Christmas holidays.

Time: 70 min, Prep: 40 min.  Cook: 30 min
Servings: ~49 squares        

Ingredients:

For batter:

  • 150 g unsalted butter (at room temperature)
  • 450 g sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 pouch vanilla sugar (9 g)
  • 4 Tbsp honey
  • 600 g white flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 450 ml milk

For icing:

  • 250 g semi-sweet chocolate (I used chocolate chips)
  • 12 Tbsp butter (~ 160 g)
  • 12 Tbsp milk
  • 12 Tbsp confectioner’s sugar
  • 4 tsp rum extract

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).Lightly grease a 30 x 30 cm baking pan and line it with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the pan and bake for about 30 minutes until light brown (you can insert a toothpick in the centre and if it comes out clean then it’s ready). Remove it from the pan, allow it to cool, then slice into 4 cm squares.

Place the coconut flakes into a bowl. Dip each square into the chocolate mixture and take them out using a fork, allowing excess to drip off. Roll each square in the coconut flakes.
