The Magical Recipe Tree

Welcome

The idea for storing my most used recipes online came after a period of having my recipes and cookbooks tucked away in storage. The ease and convenience of having them available at the push of an internet button was simply to good to resist! As much as I love cooking and experimenting in the kitchen, I didn't create the majority of recipes on this site, I merely love to use them, but I'll attempt to document every recipe I know the origin of.
As a pescetarian, the selection of recipes will reflect this- but there will still be a few family recipes included from my pre-pesc years... though I aim to convert these to pesc-friendly dishes at some stage!

Coconut Rough


Preparation
Preheat oven to 180ºC
Grease 20 x 30 cm tin
  
Chocolate Rough
1½ cups self-raising flour
1 cup white sugar
5 Tbsp cocoa
200g butter, melted 

Icing
2 Tbsp hot water
25g butter
2 cups icing sugar
5 Tbsp cocoa

Mix the Chocolate Rough ingredients in a large bowl.
Press into prepared tin and bake for 20 minutes.
Cool in tin while making the icing:

Place the water and butter in a microwave-safe bowl or jug and nuke on high for 30-40 seconds until butter is melted.
Beat in the icing sugar and cocoa til smooth- add more icing sugar if required.

Spread over coconut rough while still warm in the tin.
Sprinkle over the coconut and cut in squares, but leave to completely set and go cold before removing.
Store in an airtight container.
