It's always a good idea to keep a ready-to-go sweet treat on hand for those moments that invariably challenge us between meal times. You know that mid-afternoon slump when you wish some kindly maternal figure would materialise and put you down for a nap? Or you're relaxing after dinner, watching TV, minding your own business when suddenly an ad comes on for a chocolate bar or ice cream and suddenly you absolutely must have something sweet!
These delicious little treats are a cinch to make, and are as nutritious as they are delicious. Flavour variations are practically unlimited. They keep beautifully in the freezer and need just a few minutes at room temperature before they're ready to scoff.
Australians and New Zealanders love a slice. There's nowhere else in the world where a slice means what it does to us. I remember confusing my American cousin with talk of ‘making a weetbix slice’ - explaining weetbix was tough enough (there's no equivalent in the US, with all cereal being bite size), but then I also had to explain a slice! I deferred to the Australian Women's Weekly definition:
‘Somewhere between a cake and a tart and baked in a large slab, slices are sweet treats that can be made of one mixture or have multiple layers, with a base that’s covered with a topping and/or a filling’. This Blueberry Crumble Slice is so delicious and surprisingly simple and speedy to make. That's because it gives the illusion of having three separate layers; in actual fact it's just a classic crumble mixture pressed into a brownie tin then a scattering of blueberries, which are then sandwiched under another layer of crumble placed on top. |
