Raw Strawberry, Lime + Macadamia Slice
I am yet to find the perfect time of day to write these posts. Right now I am attempting it in the morning as I was falsely thinking the kids would be distracted with breakfast and morning cartoons. So far I have been interrupted with; making them breakfast, getting them dressed out of their pajamas, cleaning up the mess of them eating breakfast, making myself another coffee, changing Georgia’s nappy for the second time and rethinking this whole idea of ‘me’ time while there is a 2 and a 3 year old in the same room……….
So this post may not make it out until tomorrow, but it is amazing! I have been working on this one since making the really tasty http://kidseatbyshanai.com/lemon-coconut-slice/ . This one has strawberries and banana in the base and a lime macadamia icing….. just as delicious!

Raw Strawberry, Lime + Macadamia Slice
- Yield: 16 squares 1x
Description
Ingredients
Base:
- 8 Medjool dates, pitted
- 1 cup / 160g strawberries, chopped
- 1/4 banana
- 2 cups / 280g macadamia nuts
- 3 tbsp melted coconut oil
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1/2 cup / 35g desiccated coconut
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Top Layer:
- 1 cup / 140g macadamia nuts
- 1/2 cup / 100g melted coconut oil
- 1/2 cup / 170g maple syrup
- 4 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
THERMOMIX METHOD
Line a baking tray with baking paper, I used a 24cm x 24cm cake tin.
Place the dates into mixing bowl and blend 10 sec / speed 8.
Add remaining base ingredients and blend 20 sec / speed 8. The mixture should stick together like a dough, if not, add a tablespoon of water and blend a further 10 sec / speed 8.
Transfer the mixture to the lined tray and press down evenly to form a base, place in the freezer to set.
Wash and dry the mixing bowl, add all of the icing ingredients and blend 1 min / speed 8, until smooth and creamy.
Remove tray from freezer and pour over icing, set in the fridge or freezer.
Once the icing is firm, cut into 16 squares and store in the fridge or freezer.
NON THERMOMIX METHOD
Line a baking tray with baking paper, I used a 24cm x 24cm cake tin.
Blend the dates in a food processor until smooth. Add remaining base ingredients and pulse until just combined. The mixture should stick together like a dough, if not, add a tablespoon of water and pulse again.
Transfer the mixture to the lined tray and press down evenly to form a base, place in the freezer to set.
Wash and dry the processor, add all of the icing ingredients and blend until smooth and creamy.
Remove tray from freezer and pour over icing, set in the fridge or freezer.
Once the icing is firm, cut into 16 squares and store in the fridge or freezer.
Notes
I prefer to keep this slice in the freezer and eat directly from there as it can soften quite quickly at room temperature.
As macadamia nuts are quite expensive, you could substitute half with cashew nuts.
