Rich chocolately goodness offset with a tangy mandarin custard

Servings: 12
Ingredients
Chocolate Base
  • 125 g butter (melted)
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 cup plain flour
  • 3 tbsp cocoa
  • ¾ cup desiccated coconut
  • 1 egg
Topping
  • 1 cup blended mandarin (peel, remove seeds and pop segments into the blender)
  • 1 cup water
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 tbsp custard powder
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
Base

  1. Mix all base ingredients together and push into a slice tray. Pop into an oven at 180 deg until just pulling away from side and firm in the middle.

Topping

  1. Combine mandarins, water, sugar and custard powder in a small saucepan. Stir over low heat until it forms a very thick custard. While still hot, pour over base. Sprinkle over choc chips and wait for a few minutes for them to melt. With a butter knife or a skewer, work the chocolate into swirls.

  2. Chuck into the fridge to cool. Cut with a hot, wet, knife.

Recipe Notes

For a cheats version, pulpy orange juice could be substituted for the mandarins!
