Iced Vovo + Slice = Y U M!!! This is a slice version of the classic Arnott’s Iced Vovo! This takes the coconut and strawberry flavours on my childhood favourite Iced Vovo making one GIANT Iced Vovo!!!
I have added glucose syrup to the pink icing to make it more fondant-like (like the Iced Vovo describes) and so it sets firmer – it is kind of the texture of icing + fudge. If you don’t have glucose, you can easily omit it and it will be a buttercream texture.
Add SLICE ingredients to bowl.
Mix 20 seconds/Speed 5.
Pour and spread into a rectangular baking tin…
…and bake for 18-20 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
Cool before icing. Clean and dry bowl.
Once cool, spread jam evenly on top of slice.
Add icing sugar, butter, glucose, milk and pink food colouring to bowl.
Mix 1 minute/Speed 5.
Place icing mixture in a piping bag/ziplock bag with tip cut off…
and pipe on top of the jam, leaving the middle with only jam.
Roughly spread the icing down to cover any ‘exposed jam spots’…
and top/press the icing and jam topping with extra desiccated coconut.

Notes
*Pipe the icing on so that it is evenly distributed and makes it easier to get the nice defined jam strip through the middle **You can omit the glucose syrup from the icing mixture (it will make a buttercream), however the glucose makes it firmer to sit on top of the jam (has a fudge + icing sugar texture)
