I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
- Line a square tin with baking paper.
In your thermomix bowl place the biscuits and blitz for 4 seconds/speed 5.
Weigh in coconut, and set aside. Don’t bother to wash bowl.
Add butter, sugar and cocoa and melt for 2 min/70deg/sp 2. Scrape down and repeat if necessary. Colder butter may take longer to melt.
Add vanilla and reserved biscuits and coconut. Mix for 30 secs/rev/sp 1.5 while adding beaten egg through the hole in the lid. Increase speed to 2 for the last 10 seconds.
Press into prepared tin and ice with a simple chocolate icing. Wash and dry bowl
Add icing sugar, cocoa and butter to clean bowl. Pour boiling water in over butter and mix for 5 secs/sp 1 then increase to 10 secs/sp2 then 10 secs/sp 3. Scrape down sides and finish off with 10 secs/rev/sp 3.
Spread over slice then sprinkle with 100’s and 1000’s or something equally childlike and refrigerate for an hour before cutting into squares. It’s best served chilled.
Tip
Note: I generally use XL (700gm) eggs so if you use smaller you might need more than 1 egg. Add extra a bit at a time so mix doesn’t end up too sticky.

Recipe is created forTM 6
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl. -

If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

CVDK: Excellent, please let me know what you think
Emanjay's Kitchen:thank you for that. It's going on my list of items to make this week! X
CVDK: Yep, strange as it sounds the eggs goes in raw and the slice does not get cooked.
Trust the process, as they say. Once it has set in the fridge and it is throughly mixed with all the other ingredients, it is a binding agent but you will not know its there. I have been making (and eating and sharing) this recipe for over 40 years...its OK.
I'm confused. So this doesn't get cooked? Egg is raw? I really would love to make but am a bit suss on the raw egg.
thankyou!
Made in next to no time. Didn't do the icing because we are not icing lovers in our household. We just pressed hundreds and thousands on the top. My teenage kids loved it. I'm not a fan of walnuts and I was especially looking for a recipe without them. I'm fairly new to TM's and your recipe was simple and suited our household's taste. Great for a beginner like me. Thank you.
Kiralee27: Wow, thank you for that glowing review...it's a winner isn't it? Hope it will become a favourite in your house too.
Yummy! This slice is beautiful, best hedgehog I've ever made
GinStar: I'm so glad you liked it. It's a firm favourite in our family and has been for ...40+ years.
Absolutely delicious! Went down beautifully for an afternoon tea
