Ingredients

  • 45 grams (1.59 ounces) dried fruit of choice e.g. dried apricots, currants, raisins, thinly chopped
  • 45 grams (1.59 ounces) nuts of choice e.g. pistachios, almonds, roughly chopped
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • 75 grams (2.65 ounces, 3 cups) puffed rice slightly crushed
  • 30 grams (1.06 ounces, ⅓ cup) desiccated coconut
  • 10 grams (0.35 ounces, 1 tablespoon) all purpose flour (plain flour)
  • 85 grams (2.99 ounces, ⅓ cup + 1 tablespoon) caster sugar super fine white sugar
  • 45 grams/ml (1.59 ounces, 3 tablespoons) thickened cream (or heavy whipping cream)
  • 45 grams (1.59 ounces, 2 tablespoons) honey
  • 250 grams (8.81 ounces) cooking chocolate of choice (you could use milk, dark, or white) (optional)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 160°C (320°F) and grease and line a baking tray sized 18 cm x 27 cm x 2.5 cm (7.08 inches x 10.63 inches x 0.98 inches).
  2. Place thinly chopped dried fruit, chopped nuts, orange zest, crushed puffed rice, desiccated coconut, and flour in a large heat proof mixing bowl. Stir well until combined.
  3. Place the cream, sugar, and honey in a small pot. Over low heat and stirring occasionally, cook until the liquid is smooth, glossy, and the caster sugar is completely dissolved.
  4. Carefully pour the cream, sugar, and honey mixture over the dry ingredients and use a wooden spoon or stiff spatula to mix it all together. Mix until all dry ingredients are evenly coated in the liquid.
  5. Place mixture in prepared baking tin. Flatten the top of the slice with the back of a spoon (see note 1).
  6. Place in preheated oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Once baked remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
If Using Chocolate
  1. Chop the chocolate into small pieces and melt either in the microwave or using the double boiler method.
  2. Spread melted chocolate on top of the cooled slice and allow to set. Once set, cut into pieces the size of your choosing (see note 2).

Notes

  • If you find your slice is sticking to your spoon when you are flattening it, slightly wet the spoon with water.
  • We like to cut our slices into 4 cm x 7 cm (1.57 inches x 2.76 inches) slices. This will make about 16 slices.
