Recipe Notes

from Australia’s Best Recipes team

I use a potato masher to press the base ingredients. Leave slice to cool completely before cutting. I run my knife under hot water before cutting the slice, it makes it so much easier. My friend bakes this at 160C (fan-forced) and only for 15 minutes for the top as well as the base and her slice is lighter in colour and sweeter to taste. Vanilla cake mix can also be used.
