1️⃣ Preheat & Prep

2️⃣ Make the Shortbread Base

  • In a food processor (or by hand), mix flour, sugar, and cold butter until crumbly.

  • Add vanilla extract and pulse until dough starts to clump.

  • Press firmly into the prepared pan and bake for 15 mins until lightly golden.

3️⃣ Add the Raspberry Jam Layer

  • Let the base cool slightly, then spread raspberry jam evenly over the top.

4️⃣ Prepare the Coconut Topping

  • In a bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, melted butter, and vanilla.

  • Stir in shredded coconut until fully coated.

  • Sprinkle over the jam layer, pressing lightly to adhere.

5️⃣ Bake to Golden Perfection

  • Return to oven for 20-25 mins until the coconut is golden and crisp.

  • Cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.


Pro Tips for the Best Coconut Slice

🔹 Toast the coconut first for extra flavor (optional but delicious!).
🔹 Chill before slicing – Cleaner cuts when fully cooled.
🔹 Customize it! Swap raspberry for apricot, blackberry, or lemon curd.
