    Scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the post for the ingredient quantities and the full detailed method.

    The ingredients for Thermomix Jam and Coconut Slice.

    For The Base

    • Butter - you can use either salted or unsalted butter in this recipe
    • Caster Sugar - a superfine sugar that's perfect for baking as it dissolves when mixed. If you don't have caster sugar, you can use regular white sugar instead.
    • Plain Flour - also known as all purpose flour
    • Baking Powder - this is the rising agent in the base
    • Egg - use the egg yolk only in the base
    • Jam - you can use any variety of jam you like. Traditionally, jam and coconut slice is made using raspberry jam, but strawberry, apricot and blueberry are all delicious options too!

    For The Topping

    • Caster Sugar - when combined with the egg and coconut, the caster sugar gives the topping a delicious sweetness
    • Coconut - use desiccated coconut or shredded coconut
    • Egg - use a large egg (approximately 60g)

    Step By Step Instructions

    Our Thermomix Jam and Coconut Slice recipe is so quick and easy to prepare (in fact, it will take you just 10 minutes!).

    Scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the post for the ingredient quantities and the full detailed method.

    Place the butter, caster sugar, plain flour and baking powder into the Thermomix bowl.

    Mix until combined.

    Expert Tips

    • You can use any variety of jam you like (or make your own jam in the Thermomix and use that!)
    • This recipe requires 1 full egg and 1 extra egg yolk - be careful when separating the egg white from the yolk. Discard the egg white.
    • Don't overcook the slice - it's important not to burn the topping (burnt coconut doesn't taste nice at all!). Cook until just lightly golden.
    • Allow the slice to cool completely in the tin before cutting into pieces. Note: the slice will crumble if you try to cut it while it's still warm.
    • Store in an airtight container at room temperature (or in the fridge) for up to 1 week.
    • Freeze for up to 3 months. Allow to defrost at room temperature before consuming.

    FAQs

    What type of jam is best for Thermomix Jam and Coconut Slice?

    Traditionally, raspberry jam is used in coconut jam slice. However, you can use any variety of jam you like! Apricot, strawberry and blueberry jam are all delicious options.

    Can I make this slice in a TM5?

    Yes! Our recipe is suitable for use in all of the Thermomix models (TM31, TM5 and TM6).

    Is desiccated coconut or shredded coconut best to use?

    You can use either desiccated or shredded coconut in this recipe. I generally use desiccated coconut, however, shredded coconut also gives the topping a lovely texture.

      I’m currently baking this in the oven for my Husband’s morning tea at work tomorrow. It smells amazing.
      I did use strawberry jam as that’s what I had in the pantry and I also added the spare egg white into the topping because I didn’t want to waste it.
      This reminds me so much of the jam slice my Mum used to make as a kid but made so much easier in the Thermomix.
      Thank you so much.
