OK, before I start, my rolling and log making skills are non-existent. This roll tastes really yummy, and is meant to look really pretty. I just don't have the skill, but don't let the look of mine put you off! It's not at all hard and I did rush mine with the help of a 3 year old (yes, blame the child...). I will make this again shortly and see if I can improve my skills and upgrade my photos.
250 grams shortbread biscuits (either homemade or store brought, it doesn't matter)
2/3 cup icing sugar
1 tablespoon cocoa
1/3 cup strong black coffee
1/2 cup dessicated coconut
50 grams butter, softened
Place the biscuits, 1/3 cup of the icing sugar and cocoa in a food processor. Pulse until crumbs form. Add coffee, and pulse to combine.
Lay out a sheet of baking paper and roll the mixture into a rectangle, about 18 x 22cm.
Mix butter and rest of the icing sugar and coconut together. Spread this over 3/4 of the biscuit mix. Using the baking paper, roll up to make a log. I rushed this. What I should of done was spread the coconut mix over 3/4 of the base. Instead I dumped it thickly on less than one half and rushed it. Don't do this.
Chill overnight. Before serving roll in coconut and slice to serve. Keep refrigerated.
