Iced VoVo

Iced VoVo is made with flour, sugar, butter, and coconut. The dough is mixed and then rolled out into thin sheets. The biscuits are then cut into small rectangles and baked in the oven. Once the biscuits have cooled, they are topped with a pink icing made from powdered sugar and water. The biscuits are then sprinkled with shredded coconut. Iced VoVo is a delicious and nostalgic treat that is enjoyed by many Australians.

Presentation and garnishing

To ensure that the biscuits are crunchy and not too soft, it is important to not overwork the dough.

It can also be garnished with fresh berries or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
