Title: Anzac Caramel Slice
Post by: CreamPuff63 on April 23, 2013, 06:17:04 am
Ingredients:

150g Self Raising flour
40g dessicated coconut
90g brown sugar
220g unsalted butter, melted = 140g for base + 80g for topping
75g shredded coconut
90g rolled oats
115g golden syrup
1 x 380g can store-bought caramel filling or dulce de leche, softened

Method:

1.  Pre-heat oven to 180oC

2.  Place in TM bowl the flour, desiccated coconut, sugar and 140 g butter 5 Seconds / Speed 3

3.  Using the back of a spoon, press the mixture into the base of a 20 x 30 cm slice tin lined with baking paper and bake for 20-  25 minutes or until golden.

4.  Allow to cool for 10 minutes. Wash TM bowl.

5.  Spread the caramel over the cooled base  

6.  Place in the TM bowl shredded coconut, oats, golden syrup and remaining 80 g butter and mix on Speed 3-4 to combine.  (note: if you allow it to sit for a while the blades will have a tough time turning around, so do it last minute  ;) or mix by hand)

7. Spread this over the caramel and bake for a further 20-25 minutes or until golden.

8. Allow to cool completely before cutting into squares to serve (I know this is the hardest step of all ;D) You could even make it the day before.

Bonsai - You can also make dulce de leche in a pressure cooker using just a tin of condensed milk. I've never tried it but the website is very reliable http://www.hippressurecooking.com/dulce-de-leche-pressure-cooked-condensed-milk/

KarenH - absolutely delicious! Thanks for a wonderful recipe CP!

Uni - yes, making it the day b4 needed is a good idea. DD said it was nicer today.

Cecilia - Big thank you, CP.  I made the D de L yesterday and the slice early today for a family gathering this afternoon.  Lush and popular. Really appreciate your sharing of the recipe.  

dede - These are absolutely Moorish. I ate 2 pieces today and had to slap my fingers to stop me taking a third. 10/10

Kimmyh - Made it and loved it. Like Mandi wanted a third piece but stopped. So yummy, so naughty.

Jonvic - What a hit, it is so delicious. Will make again this week. The only problem I had was it was a bit soft, I think that is more about it not lasting long enough to set...This time when I make it, I will hide it to so that I can give it enough time to set. Also, made my own caramel topping, how nice.

JD - do you keep it in the fridge? It is delicious, thanks CP.

Kimmyh - I gave mum some Judy and she put it in the fridge and said it didn't really change it. I kept mine at room temperature for three days and it was fine. I used bought tin caramel.

CC - My goodness this slice is good. I made it yesterday to take to a friends house to have with coffee this morning. Everyone had two pieces and asked for the recipe. Thanks CP.

obbie - what can I say, but Yummy.

kyton - In the oven now - also made the Dulce de Leche recipe. Smells gorgeous.

mab19 -it got the thumbs up from DH and GS.  Very rich but very nice.

CP, do you spread the second mixture over the dulche de leche layer ending up with three layers to the slice?

I think that's the idea, Wonder. I'm waiting for the photo. Tapping fingers...... :D
Title: Re: Anzac Caramel Slice
Post by: CreamPuff63 on April 23, 2013, 07:20:10 am
yes, so first you make the base then you spread the caramel over, and then you make the topping and that goes over the caramel.

CP - I have added this step to the recipe ;) JD

You're welcome. Just letting you know also that I've noticed that my proof reading stinks and I didn't mention that the butter is MELTED

No i am not going back to my old ways  ;D

i turned off 1 freezer and the other one I only  have a few things in there will be off sometime this week and that will leave me with only the big  freezer thats in the kitchen

Post by: CreamPuff63 on April 24, 2013, 01:27:17 am
Believe me uni, a piece of this tastes way better than a biscuit. It's got the base flavour of an Anzac, but with the extra caramel element.

Big thank you, CP.  I made the D de L yesterday and the slice early today for a family gathering this afternoon.  Lush and popular.  DH and I ate the crumpled slices with cream at the end.  Poor us!

Really appreciate your sharing of the recipe.

10 out of 10
Title: Re: Anzac Caramel Slice
Post by: CreamPuff63 on April 30, 2013, 02:28:04 pm
Maybe cut each piece bigger so you don't eat quite so many  ;) or even smaller so you just lose track. Ether way, am glad you're loving it x

Does this go in the fridge to set and do you keep it in there for storing girls?
Title: Re: Anzac Caramel Slice
Post by: CreamPuff63 on May 09, 2013, 11:49:10 am
Ours didn't last that long JD, but I'm sure it would be fine in the fridge covered.
Title: Re: Anzac Caramel Slice
Post by: judydawn on May 09, 2013, 01:06:55 pm
I want to make it tomorrow for Mothers' Day CP but I didn't want it to spoil by refrigerating it if everyone else isn't.  Nothing ever disappears quickly in this house unfortunately but I am hoping it does on Sunday with 11 people there to help eat it.

Thanks Kimmy, I bought the caramel too.  It looks as if it doesn't make any difference one way or the other then.
