      If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
      For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

Recipe's preparation

    BASE
  1. Add all ingredients for base - 5 seconds/speed 5.
    Grease a slice tray or line with paper - press into pan and then put in the fridge
    (rinse bowl and wipe dry)
  2. FILLING
    Place all ingredients in bowl. 10 seconds speed 8.
    scrape down bowl and do again (same time and speed). Repeat again if necessary. Mixture should be a caramel texture - if too sticky add a little more water (i had to scrape my bowl a few times and move the caramel around the blade to loosen it up each time before mixing again)
    Once the texture is easy enough to scrape from bowl and smooth over the base - put back in the fridge while you make the topping.
    You'll need to wash out your bowl and dry fairly well for next step.
  3. CHOCOLATE TOPPING
    If coconut oil is solidified then melt 1 min/100c/speed 2.
    scrape down bowl (continue until melted). Add remaining ingredients - 1min /100c/speed 3 (not too fast to avoid splatter all over bowl).

    Then smooth over the slice in the fridge and refigerate.

    Remember coconut oil helps the top to solidify - so when kept out of the fridge will soften a bit. Cut into slices after a few hours (or when the top has gone hard).
    And enjoy - This for me is as good as a real caramel slice and its better for you!! ENJOY!!!

Tip

As mentioned above when I did the caramel filling it was very sticky and i had to add a little more water each time to get the texture right - this could depend on you medjool date-normal date ratio.
I haven't done it with only normal dates so not sure if the texture works out so caramely - but the medjool dates definitely creat this. If anybody tries with just normal dates let me know how it goes. Hope you enjoy as much as we do (my kids think this is normal caramel slice and they love it as an afterschool treat).
I also like the base a bit 'biscuity' that's why i didn't blitz into a finer base - but you could do this if you wanted by increasing your speed

  • This is a yummy slice and I make it every week so...

    Submitted by Pippajane on 1. October 2017 - 21:11.

    This is a yummy slice and I make it every week so we have a not too guilty sweet treat on hand. I do think the ratios are out though, there is too much centre and not enough base. So my advice is to increase the quantities of base mixture by about 20% (and I regularly sub almonds for the walnuts). For the centre I use medjool dates only but only 250gm and increase the amount of peanut butter to 110gm. You also need quite a bit of water to get the right consistency, so start with small amounts and keep checking. For the top, I prefer 50gm of 70% cocoa chocolate with a teaspoon of coconut oil...melted together in the microwave. This slice is also better kept in the freezer! It is delicious.
