What You’ll Need: The Ingredients
To create this Aussie favourite, you’ll need a few pantry staples along with the star of the show, Biscoff spread.
For the Slice Base:
- 100g butter
- 2 tablespoons Smooth Biscoff spread
- ¾ cup self-raising flour
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 2 Weet-Bix, crushed into fine crumbs
- ½ cup shredded coconut, plus extra for decorating
- ⅓ cup firmly packed brown sugar
For the Biscoff Icing:
- ¾ cup icing sugar mixture
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- ⅓ cup Smooth Biscoff spread
- 1 tablespoon hot water (plus extra if needed)
Let’s Get Baking: The Method
Follow these simple steps to create your Biscoff Weet-Bix Slice:
Prepare Your Pan: Start by greasing a shallow 19cm square cake pan. It’s crucial to line the base and sides with baking paper, making sure the paper extends about 3cm above the edges of the pan. This will make removing the slice a breeze.
Melt and Mix: In a heatproof bowl, melt the butter. You can do this in the microwave on High for about 1 minute. Once melted, stir in the Smooth Biscoff spread until you achieve a perfectly smooth, combined mixture.
Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, sift together the self-raising flour and cocoa powder. This ensures there are no lumps. Next, stir in the crushed Weet-Bix, shredded coconut, and brown sugar.
Bring it All Together: Pour the melted butter and Biscoff mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir everything together until it’s well combined and forms a cohesive mixture.
Press into the Pan: Firmly press this delicious mixture evenly over the base of your prepared cake pan. Get it nice and compact for a good, sturdy slice.
Bake to Perfection: Place the pan into a preheated oven at 170°C. Bake for approximately 15 minutes, or until the slice feels firm to the touch. Once baked, remove it from the oven and set it aside to cool completely before you even think about icing it. Patience is key here!
Whip Up the Icing: While the slice is cooling, it’s time to make the luscious Biscoff icing. In a medium bowl, sift together the icing sugar mixture and cocoa powder. Add the Smooth Biscoff spread and 1 tablespoon of hot water. Stir vigorously until the icing is smooth and well combined. If the icing seems a little too thick, add a tiny bit more hot water, a teaspoon at a time, until you reach a lovely spreadable consistency.
Ice and Decorate: Once the slice has completely cooled, generously spread the Biscoff icing all over the top. For that extra special touch, sprinkle some extra shredded coconut over the icing.
Let it Set: Allow the slice to stand at room temperature until the icing has set. If you’re in a particularly hot climate, it’s a good idea to pop it in the fridge to help the icing firm up.
Slice and Serve: Once the icing is set, carefully lift the slice from the pan using the baking paper. Cut it into your desired pieces.
This Biscoff Weet-Bix Slice is more than just a treat; it’s a taste of home, a burst of flavour, and a guaranteed hit with everyone who tries it. Enjoy!
