This Belgian Slice is a twist on the classic recipe. With a spiced melt and mix base then topped with pink raspberry icing.
This yummy Belgian slice is a great afternoon pick-me up or the perfect treat to take along to coffee with a group of friends! It has a simple melt and mix baked base so it is super fast to make.
How to make my Belgian slice:
To start off mix the melted butter, sugar and golden syrup together then add the dry ingredients and mix until combined. Pour into a lined baking tray (my tray is 27 x 18 cm) and bake for 20 minutes.
During the baking time whisk the jelly crystals and boiling water together then add the jam, sift in the icing sugar and stir all the ingredients together to combine. It comes out the most beautiful pink colour.
Ice the base while still warm then sprinkle over extra jelly crystals. Put slice into the fridge until the icing has set, then slice with a large sharp knife. This slice can be kept for up to 4 days in an airtight container in the pantry, making it a convenient make ahead treat!
