Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C / 350°F. Line and grease a 20 cm / 8-inch square pan.
2. Cream the butter and sugar together for 3 to 4 minutes, until light and fluffy.
3. Add the flour, cocoa powder, desiccated coconut and baking powder, and fold until well combined.
4. Press the base evenly into the lined pan.
5. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until slightly browned.
6. Meanwhile, mix the powdered sugar, 2 tbsp butter, milk and peppermint essence until well combined and thick.
7. While the base is still hot, spread the peppermint filling over it in an even layer, right into the corners.
8. Leave to cool for 30 to 60 minutes.
9. Break up the chocolate and put it in a heatproof bowl with the oil. Melt in the microwave in 20-second bursts until smooth, or over a water bath.
10. Pour the melted chocolate over the cooled filling and tilt the pan to cover the edges.
11. Refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours, or overnight, until completely set.
