Ingredients:

  • 3 Weet-Bix™, crumbled

  • 1/2 cup (40g) shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup golden caster sugar
  • 120g margarine, melted
  • 1 cup low-sugar lemon curd

  • 2 egg whites
  • 2 tbs (30g) golden caster sugar
  • 2 lemons or limes, zest
  • 1 1/2 cups (120g) shredded desiccated coconut

Method:

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease and line a 20 x 30cm slice tin with baking paper.
  2. Mix the Weet-Bix™, flour, shredded coconut and sugar together before adding melted margarine. Mix well.
  3. Spoon mixture into the base of prepared pan. Press down with the back of a spoon. Place pan in the oven for 15 minutes until golden. Allow to cool slightly before adding the topping.

Tips:

  • Gluten-free Weet-Bix™ makes a great substitution for a gluten-free diet. Substitute the self-rising flour for rice flour and a teaspoonful of gluten free baking powder.
  • Passionfruit, lime or even rhubarb curd can easily be substituted for the lemon curd.
