1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbsp Blue Coconut Coconut Oil
1 1/2 tsp ginger

1/2 cup coconut butter

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C.

Press the base into a baking paper-lined oven-proof dish. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden. Set aside to cool.

In a small saucepan, melt the coconut butter and coconut oil on low to medium heat. Take off the heat then carefully mix through the rest of the icing ingredients. Taste the icing and add extra ginger if you think it needs it (depending on how much of a ginger kick you want!).

Pour the icing over the base and leave to set in the freezer for 1-2 hours or until firm before slicing. Store in the fridge.
