Crispy on the outside with a creamy caramel and nut centre on a coconut base, we love this caramel walnut slice. Great for the kids after school or an anytime snack.
CARAMEL WALNUT SLICE
For the base:
60 grams butter
65 grams sugar
80 grams plain flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
45 grams dessicated coconut
For the topping:
2 medium eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
100 grams dessicated coconut
320 grams brown sugar
½ teaspoon baking powder
100 grams walnuts
Line a 20 x 30cm slice pan with baking paper. Preheat the oven to 180C.
For the base:
Place the butter, sugar, flour, baking powder and coconut in the TM bowl and mix at 90C at Speed 3 for 1 minute.
Press into the base of the slice pan. Place in preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes at 180C or until golden.
For the topping:
Place eggs, vanilla essence, coconut, brown sugar and baking powder in the TM bowl and mix at Speed 4 for 20 seconds.
Add the walnuts and mix at Reverse Speed 1 for 30 seconds.
Spread the topping over the base. Bake for a further 25-30 minutes or until topping is cooked.
Allow to cool and cut into squares or slices.
Makes 16 - 18 pieces. Keeps for 3-4 days.

past94x - Just made this and all I can say is, it's totally irresistible - I can't leave it alone. My hubby does not have a sweet tooth and is not usually tempted by sweet things - but this has even got him looking for more. A huge thankyou TM. It's a fabulous recipe!
ES - made this today in my ThermoChef, with a few modifications. I had the SR flour out, so I used that in the base stead of plain flour and baking powder. I didn't have enough desiccated coconut for the topping , so I added about 20g of shredded coconut to make up the quantity. I also reduced the sugar to 250g and increased the walnuts to 125g, because that's what I had left in my container. I don't have a reverse function on my machine, so I added the walnuts and kneaded for 10 seconds.
The slice is delicious and sweet enough for me and the kids enjoyed it for dessert tonight with ice-cream.
Aussie Brenda - It's in the oven baking, nice and easy I did reduce the brown sugar to 250 gms as well and only had 30 gms of coconut for the top so made up the difference with LSA, looks good.
obbie - Made this today, yummy. Thanks.
Fliss Prideaux - Seriously yummy but I found to fit the tin I had to make another 50% extra base . Did anyone else have the problem ? It got the big thumbs up from my house though !

Thanks, sounds lovely.

Thanks TM. Had a look at your blog, looks good. This is the recipe I chose to make. That Cumquat jam would be nice on some of the bread on the Forum. Have a go.

Love the way you "cook" all the base ingredients together. Will be making these for sure, thanks for the recipe.
