How to make Passionfruit Weetbix Slice:

The base of this slice is a simple melt and mix recipe, add melted butter, sugar, weetbix and flour to a large bowl and mix it together. Press this mixture into a lined baking tin and bake for 20 minutes, too easy! Your base is already done and ready for the simple icing.

Once your base has cooled slightly you can add the passionfruit icing. The icing is made by whisking together butter, icing sugar and passionfruit pulp. If it seems too thick you can add a dash of boiling water then keep whisking until you get a good consistency with no lumps.

The passionfruit pulp gives the icing a nice tartness which balances so well with the sweet chewy coconut base. If you like a more crunchy base then bake it for a little longer, remember all ovens are different so it might take a few times for you to get it to the perfect texture.

Common questions about Passionfruit Weetbix Slice:

What size tin do you use? My tin is 29 x 19 cm and the cook time works well for me in my oven. If your tin is smaller, allow a little longer to cook as the base will be thicker.

How long will this slice keep for? This slice keeps well for 3-5 days in an airtight container.

    Can you make the base without the coconut?

      Yes, Weetbix slice will still work well without coconut, simply add 1 extra Weetbix and ½ a cup of additional flour.
