Chocolate Caramel Mocha Nut Slice

January 25th, 2008 § 2 comments § permalink

I finally found my recipe that I used to make these for Christmas 07, so glad because I have been searching for it like crazy on the internet nearly every day since!! Pics taken 07/12/08

base
1 cup self raising flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup dessicated coconut
125g butter, melted
2 tablespoons strong coffee
140g chopped walnuts

caramel
2 x 395g sweetened condensed milk
250g brown sugar (1 1/4 cups firmly packed)
125g butter
2 tablespoons strong coffee

ganache
270g dark chocolate
1/4 cup cream
1 tablespoon strong coffee

Preheat oven to 180°C. Line the base and sides of a 30cm x 20cm slice pan with baking paper.
Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl. Add the brown sugar, coconut, butter and coffee and stir well.
Press the mixture into the pan and bake until golden, about 15 minutes. Cool slightly then sprinkle over the chopped walnuts.
Place the condensed milk, brown sugar, butter and coffee in a saucepan and stir over low heat until thickened, about 10 minutes. KEEP STIRRING, I burnt this quite badly the first time I made it, but it still tasted awesome :P
Spread the caramel mixture over the base. Return to the oven for 10-12 minutes until bubbling around the edges. Cool completely.
Combine the ganache ingredients in a saucepan and cook over a low heat until melted. Cool slightly before spreading evenly over the top. Refridgerate to set. Cut into slices to serve.
Makes 20 large slices.

From a foodtown magazine, no idea which issue!! (ripped it out)

Im always tryna find some way to disguse the disturbing amounts of protein I cook for Jonno and I now that we are both gym junkies, and since we have had this 2 nights running I hereby declare it a success. It is ready to eat in the time Jonno has had a shower and is a one pan dish which are huge bonuses too.

windows vista mce remote control, good times

Well having just spent 5 hours of my life trying to work a Vista MCE remote I am asking myself why, why did I not research this more before I did it. Sigh.

I bought the Hauppauge PVR150MCE edition. Why did I not just get the normal edition? I think the name sounded cooler at the time or something. Sigh.
