Thermomix Method
- Line an 20cm square cake tin with baking paper over-hanging the sides for easy removal.
- Place the ingredients for the bottom layer into the thermomix bowl and blend at speed 10 for 10 seconds. Press the mixture firmly into the base of your prepared tin.
- Place the ingredients for the middle layer into your thermomix bowl and blend at speed 6 for 8 seconds. Pour the mixture over your base and place in the fridge for 20 minutes to set.
- Once the middle layer is firm place the ingredients for the top layer into a bowl and stir until the mixture is well combined. Pour the mixture evenly over the slice and return to the fridge for several hours to set.
- Slice. Serve. Eat and enjoy.
*you can use rice malt syrup if you prefer.
notes –
- I place the slice into the freezer for 20 minutes prior to slicing. Once sliced this can be stored and served straight from the fridge or freezer, it will not be stable at room temperature.
- When making the chocolate topping ensure the coconut oil is not hot. I all the oil to the chocolate mixture one tablespoon at a time.
