Coconut Custard Slice

A tropical kind of coconut custard! I think coconut is a fantastic ingredient in all kinds of bakery and cooking because of the aroma produced. But the bad news is coconut milk isn't very generous to your heart! So, it is to advise not to take coconut milk too often. However, you can use coconut extract for flavouring instead! It's better than nothing, right! So, here we go....

1 cup self-raising flour

1 cup desiccated coconut

1 cup brown sugar
