{raspberry & coconut slice in hermie}


To be honest, this recipe is pretty easy and simple without a Thermomix. Today was my first time converting it and I have to say, it's even easier! Don't even bother to rinse the bowl in between making the base and the topping and it can be made in 10 minutes. Only the oven gets in the way because it's too slow. I often make this raspberry slice for family events, especially birthday parties and it's a hit. This time, I'm making it for my sister's kitchen tea and just cutting it into smaller bite size pieces so that everyone can try all the other yummy morsels of food available.

220 + 60 grams plain flour
3 tablespoons ground almonds (optional)
110 + 350 grams castor sugar
250 grams butter
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Tips & Notes: This makes quite a lot of slice and is a great option for parties. I also store this in the freezer and defrost a few hours before serving. The ground almonds above are optional and I personally don't put them in due to family nut allergies. Finally, if you want to reduce the sugar, the recipe should still be quite nice as the slice is pretty sweet.
