Time 1h45m

Yield about 2 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)

3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup roughly chopped dried apricots

Steps:

  • Beat the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed in a large bowl until fluffy. Add the vanilla and egg and beat to combine.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and beat until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips and dried apricots.

Categories     Finger Food     Morning Tea     Slice     Snack     Supper

Time 46m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
4 tablespoons butter, melted
14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
orange food coloring (as needed)
10 ounces dried apricots (chopped)
2 cups desiccated coconut
3 1/2 ounces dark chocolate
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
  • In a bowl combine the flour, sugar, and cocoa powder.
  • Mix the butter into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until well combined, the mixture is dry, and doesn't form a dough.
  • Lightly grease the small slice tray then add the base and press down so it is flat.
  • Bake the base in the oven for 8 minutes then remove and let cool.
  • In a bowl add the condensed milk and orange food coloring. This step is done here so you can easily mix and adjust the color. Often food colors are bought in packs of four and the orange color requires 1 drop of red to 3 of yellow. Check packets for specific instructions.
  • Add the apricots and coconut and stir well so well distributed.
  • Add the apricot mixture to the slice pan on top of the chocolate base. Smooth and press down to create an even layer.
  • Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, it will look slightly dry but will not brown. Leave aside to cool for at least 30 minutes before adding the chocolate layer.
  • Place the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl over a pot with about 1 inch of water. Slowly heat the water which will heat the chocolate. Stir occasionally and monitor so it doesn't overheat.
  • Using a butter knife drizzle the chocolate back and forth over the top of the apricot slice. This can be in parallel lines, crisscrossed, or similar. Continue to add until all the chocolate is gone. Leave for 30 minutes for the chocolate to set.
  • Cut the slice to serve. This is a very rich slice so small bite-sized pieces work best, but if desired it can also be cut into more generous serving proportions as a dessert slice.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature butter for a smoother batter.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air and make the slice lighter.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Stir in the dry ingredients gradually until just combined. Overmixing can toughen the slice.
  • Spread the batter into a greased and lined 12x17 inch baking tray.
  • Bake the slice in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 20-25 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the slice to cool completely before icing.
  • For the icing, beat the butter and cream cheese together until light and fluffy. Add the icing sugar gradually, beating until smooth.
  • Spread the icing over the cooled slice and top with chopped apricots and chocolate bits.
  • Chill the slice for at least 30 minutes before serving.
