Feijoa Crumble Slice

Ingredients:

• 220 g butter
• 1 cup caster sugar
• 2 cups self-raising flour
• ½ cup desiccated coconut
• ½ cup thread coconut
• 10 feijoas peeled, sliced
• ¼ cup caster sugar
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon
• icing sugar for dusting
  

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C and grease and line the base of a slice tin.
2. Cream butter and first measure of sugar with an electric beater until pale and fluffy.
3. Using a spatula, gently stir in flour and desiccated coconut to form a soft dough. Divide the mixture into 1 large portion and 1 smaller portion.
4. Press the larger amount into the base of the lined slice tin and smooth with the back of a wet spoon. Bake for 10-12 minutes until it begins to turn golden. Add the thread coconut to the remaining dough and mix well, then chill in the fridge for 10 minutes.
5. Toss feijoas with the second measure of sugar and cinnamon. Arrange evenly over the base, then crumble over the remaining coconut dough.
6. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and puffed. Dust with icing sugar and serve warm with yoghurt or ice cream or allow to cool and slice, storing slices in an air tight container in the fridge.
