Afternoon Delight Slice

This is a quite decadent and definitely sweet coconutty slice. It was meant to be a Cherry Ripe Slice, based on the original recipe from the Cadbury website, but there was universal agreement that it really didn’t feel like Cherry Ripe. Delicious, but not cherry ripe, so we re-christened it ‘afternoon delight’ to reflect the…
