The Secret to Perfect Air Fryer Weet Bix Slice
The key to nailing this recipe is in the texture and the balance of flavours. Crushing the Weet Bix just right and mixing with the perfect ratio of cocoa and coconut gives you a slice that’s crunchy, yet chewy and rich. Let’s not forget the icing — it’s the literal icing on the cake that ties everything together.
Air Fryer Weet Bix Slice Tips and Tricks
- Crush those Weet-Bix finely: The finer the crumbs, the better the texture of your slice.
- Use quality cocoa powder: The cocoa really shines in this recipe, so go for a high-quality brand to get the best flavour.
- Cooling is crucial: Make sure the slice is completely cool before icing, otherwise, the icing might melt into the slice and make it soggy.
Perfect Occasions to Enjoy Weet-Bix Slice
This slice isn’t just a treat for your taste buds — it’s also incredibly versatile when it comes to when and where you can enjoy it. Here are a few ideas:
