I don't like ginger crunch made with coconut - the coconut seems to be used in place of making a crunch shortbread-like base.
Can you just replace the coconut with more flour or do you need to add a bit more butter as well!

I have made this and I like it very much, I'm a fan of oats anyway. I also put in chopped crystallized ginger after having that in a cafe once - yummy!

coconut will spoil it...too much going on in some of the recipes
When cool, ice with:
4 Tbsp butter
8 Tbsp icing sugar
4 teaspoons golden syrup
2 teaspoons ground ginger
Heat, melt, beat and pour hot icing over cool base

Interesting.....Ingredients-wi- se the recipes at #2, #3 and #8 are all the same and otherwise the only differences appear to be in the cooking time and when the icing is poured over the base - whilst it is still warm or cool.:-))

l vote for Takaka as well and l found cooking it a bit longer to make the base more crunchy and l read somewhere that you put the icing on while hot and put it in the oven to glaze it and it is really nice done like that and l put glaced ginger in the topping also, yum
