Instructions

  • Crush the biscuits until they form small pieces and place in a large bowl.
  • Add the melted butter, cherries, coconut and pink colouring and mix until well combined.
  • Transfer to your prepared tin and use the back of a spoon to flatten the top of the mixture - don't worry, it will be sticky!

Thermomix Instructions

  • Line the base and sides of a 20cm square cake tin with baking paper - making sure you leave paper hanging up the sides of the tin to help you remove the slice once it has set.
  • Place the butter into your Thermomix bowl and cook for 3 minutes, 60 degrees, speed 2 to melt.
  • Add the biscuits into your Thermomix bowl and mix for 3 seconds on speed 5 to lightly crush. You will need to use your spatula to push the biscuits down into the blades.
  • Add the condensed milk, coconut, pink colouring and cherries and mix for 10 seconds, speed 4. Scrape down the sides of your Thermomix bowl and mix for a further 10 seconds, speed 5 - REVERSE or until the mixture is well combined.
  • Transfer to your prepared tin and use the back of a spoon to flatten the top of the mixture - don't worry, it will be sticky!
  • Place the dark chocolate and coconut oil (if using) into a microwave safe bowl and cook on 30 second spurts until it's just melted. 
  • Pour the melted chocolate over the top of the slice and place into the fridge for 3 hours or until set. Once set, cut into pieces and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days.

Notes

  • I made this Cherry Ripe Slice in a 20cm square cake tin to help make it a little bit higher (and give you more slice in each piece!), however you can also make it in a conventional 28x18cm slice tin too.
  • You can omit the pink food colouring if you wish, however this is what gives the slice it's pink colouring.
  • It is important to use sweetened condensed milk and not evaporated milk for this recipe.
  • The slice mixture will be sticky - this is normal!
  • Milk chocolate can be used in place of dark chocolate.
  • The addition of coconut oil will assist the chocolate layer from not cracking when slicing.
  • Once made, this Cherry Ripe Slice is best stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days - however good luck getting it to last that long!
