Quick N Easy Hedgehog Slice image

An Aussie classic! So easy and fast and yummy! Everyone does theirs differently; mine is from the text book every Aussie kid uses for Home Ec in high school, Cookery the Australian Way. If you like a thick slice, double the recipe! Hope you like it!

Time 20m

Yield 24 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 9

2/3 cup butter
1/2 cup caster sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
2 tablespoons desiccated coconut
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
1/2 cup glace cherries, chopped
1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
2 cups crushed plain sweet biscuits (for you Americans, that's like graham cracker crumbs!)

Steps:

  • Grease lamington pan/slice tray.
  • Melt butter and sugar together, stir in cocoa.
  • Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and coconut.
  • Add egg, then walnuts and cherries.
  • Mix in biscuit crumbs; press into pan and refrigerate until firm and cooled, only needs about an hour.
  • You can ice this with chocolate icing if you wish; I prefer to leave it plain and press some extra shredded coconut on top before refrigerating!
