These irresistible bars bring together a crisp pastry base with a chewy, nut packed coconut topping. Loosely inspired by the rich coconut and brown sugar layer of Danish drømmekage (dream cake), this traybake uses honey with plenty of toasted nuts. The result is a moreish slice that’s perfect as an afternoon or lunchbox treat.
Nutmeg isn’t essential, but if you’ve got some to hand, a generous pinch makes all the difference — its aromatic warmth gives the bars extra depth.
