No Bake Lemon Slice with Macadamias
I love having healthy raw slices like this in the freezer for a sweet treat I don’t have to feel too guilty about. They are so easy to make, you don’t need any baking skills, just blitz and layer!
I love this time of year when everyone is giving you big bags of lemons from their backyard trees, planning on making some of my Honey, Lemon & Thyme Gummies this week too.
You can swap the maple syrup for honey or rice malt syrup if you prefer, just use equal amounts. You could even use lime instead of lemon and make this a Macadamia Lime Slice.

THERMOMIX METHOD
BASE
Line a square cake tin with baking paper. Place all base ingredients into TM mixing bowl and blend 30 sec / speed 10. The mixture should stick together like a dough, if not, add a tablespoon of water and blend a further 10 sec / speed 8. Cover and place in fridge to set until quite firm.
TOP
Place all top ingredients in TM mixing bowl and blend 20 sec / speed 8, scrape down sides and repeat. Press down evenly over the base layer and place back in the fridge to set.
Once firm, cut into 16 squares and store and serve straight from the freezer.
NON THERMOMIX METHOD
BASE
Line a square cake tin with baking paper. Place all base ingredients into a food processor and blitz until well combined into a dough (this may take a few minutes). The mixture should stick together like a dough, if not, add a tablespoon of water and blend a further 10 sec / speed 8. Cover and place in fridge to set until quite firm.
TOP
Place all top ingredients into the food processor and blitz until smooth. Press down evenly over the base layer and place back in the fridge to set.
Once firm, cut into 16 squares and store and serve straight from the freezer.
Notes
The top layer will spread easily over the base if you wait until the base has set firm.
This slice is best stored in an air tight container in the freezer, it defrosts very quickly to be eaten and can go quite soft at room temperature.

WHERE TO BUY MACADAMIAS
Did you know macadamias are loaded with protein and calcium. I get all my pantry items from my local store Cape Wholefoods, but they also have an online store
