SOUR CHERRY AND COCONUT SLICE



Sour Cherry and Coconut Slice image

I just love these sour cherries and this slice is just devine. A family fave and freezes well too. I use cherry Jam (jelly) but I have also used raspberry Jam under the cherries and it works well too. Most berry Jams will probably work.

Provided by Jaded spoon

Categories     Other Desserts

Number Of Ingredients 14

100 g butter or marg
1/2 c sugar
2 egg yolk
2/3 c plain flour
1/4 c self raising flour
1 Tbsp custard powder
1 jar(s) 680g sour morello cherries
TOPPING
100 g unsalted butter
1/3 c sugar
2 eggs
1/2 c plain flour
2 c shredded coconut
1/2 c cherry jam (or jelly for those in the usa)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 180C. Line a 20x30 slice pan with baking paper.
  • 2. Beat butter (or marg), sugar and egg yolk till light and fluffy. Sift in flours and custard powder, mix and press into the lined pan. Prick with fork and refridgerate for 15 mins. Bake for 15 mins then allow to slightly cool whilst making topping.
  • 3. TOPPING... Beat unsalted butterand sugar till light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time and beat well inbetween. Stir in flour and coconut.
  • 4. Spread Jam over the slightly cooled base, then sprinkle the drained cherries over the top.
  • 5. Top the cherries with the coconut mix, spreading evenly over to cover. Bake a further 30 mins or till golden brown on top.
  • 6. Cool in pan then slice into small squares. If you are going to freeze the slice, leave the slice whole from the pan it is easier to store that way but if you cut up pieces can be frozen too if any are left over.

Tips:

  • To make a perfect coconut slice, use fresh coconut. Fresh coconut has a sweeter and more delicate flavor than dried coconut.
  • If you don't have time to make your own coconut filling, you can use store-bought coconut filling. Just make sure to choose a filling that is made with real coconut, not coconut flavoring.
  • To make the coconut slice extra special, add a layer of chocolate ganache on top. Chocolate and coconut are a classic combination that always tastes amazing.
  • Coconut slice is best served chilled. This allows the flavors to meld together and the coconut filling to set.
  • Coconut slice can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze coconut slice for up to 3 months.

Conclusion:

Coconut slice is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and creamy coconut filling and its flaky pastry crust, coconut slice is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert to make, give coconut slice a try. You won't be disappointed!
