THE HEDGEHOG

                                                                     

Here's a funny hedgehog to prepare small meals for summer.
From 4 years.

 

INGREDIENTS

  • 250g packet of Scotch Finger biscuits
  • ¾ cup chopped pecans (or walnuts or almonds)
  • 1 cup raisins (optional)
  • 125 g butter
  • 125g caster sugar
  • 2 tablespoons of cocoa
  • 2 tablespoons coconut
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten

FOR FROSTING 

1 ½ cups icing sugar  

2 tablespoons of cocoa

2-3 tablespoons water

 

DIRECTION

  • Grease a slice with butter.
  • Crush the biscuits by hand or in a food processor, leaving some chunks.
  • Add nuts, raisins (if desired), cocoa and coconut.
  • In a small saucepan, melt the butter, then add sugar and vanilla.
  • Stir the mixture and then stir in biscuit egg.
  • Press tin with the back of a spoon.
  • Put some cold water on your fingers to press the top so that it is smooth.
  • For the icing, mix the icing sugar and cocoa into a bowl and add enough water to form a spreadable paste.
  • Spread icing over slice and refrigerate overnight (this makes it much easier to slice).
  • Cut into squares.
  • rating:
  • I've never been a fan of store-bought slice Hedgehog, but love simple ingredients in it.
  • A even been tempted to take a bite of this chocolate, Scotch Finger biscuit, slice gluten free!
