Treat or dessert? You decide! Either way, you’ll love this sticky, sweet, creamy and fruity slice with its crunchy Weet-Bix biscuit base. One piece at a sitting is probably enough, but I won’t tell if you go back for seconds!
How to make a Weet-Bix and banana custard slice: key tips
This slice is made in three layers – a biscuit base, banana custard middle and a golden syrup topping. Remember to allow for refrigeration time after each layer is added.
When lining your slice pan with the Weet-Bix biscuit mixture, try using a flat-bottomed glass to press and smooth – it will make the job much easier and the mixture won’t stick to your hands. Then pop the pan straight into the fridge so that it firms up enough to hold your custard layer.
Make sure that your second layer is set and your golden syrup topping is cool before pouring it over, so that the layers remain separate and the topping isn’t runny.
Key ingredients in this Weet-Bix and banana custard slice recipe
Crushed Weet-Bix makes a crunchy, yet solid, slice base when processed with butter and dates.
You’ll need to use very ripe bananas for this slice so that they can be mashed easily. Riper bananas will also be much sweeter than green bananas.
Try your hand at these chewy Weet-Bix biscuits, too. And honey joys made with Corn Flakes are always a party favourite.
