| 1. For Base: | 2. Cream together the butter & sugar until light & fluffy. | 3. Add essence, egg, and dry ingredients. | 4. Mix well and then press into a 9" x 13" shallow baking pan. (known in NZ as a sponge roll tin). | 5. Bake at 350°F for about 20 minutes or until light golden brown. | 6. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Don't remove from pan. | 7. Topping: | 8. Dissolve the gelatine in the boiling water in a large bowl. | 9. Add the essence and the sugar and beat on med-high speed with electric mixer until stiff and fluffy adding drops of colouring to get the colour you like. This can take a few minutes. (maybe even up to 10mins depending on the weather). | 10. When thick and stiff (like stiffly beaten egg whites that hold their shape) spoon over cooled base and cut into bars/squares when set. I usually place mine in fridge to set but you don't have to. | 11. Optional: sprinkle with dessicated coconut after pouring topping onto base. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
