Method

1. Preheat oven to 180’C. Grease and line a 20x30cm slice tin.

3. Prepare the base by creaming the sugar and butter in an electric mixture. Add the egg and combine. Gradually add the flour and coconut while continuing to mix at a low speed. Press the base mixture into the base of the pan and bake for 20 minutes.
4. Prepare the topping by placing all topping ingredients into a bowl, stirring well to combine.
5. Spread the cooled curd onto the top of the base and then spread the topping over the curd, ensuring you press it down well.
6. Bake for a further 20 minutes or until topping is golden brown. Allow to cool and serve.
