Coconut Jam Slice or Louise Slice is my Nanna’s Recipe!
Coconut Jam Slice – I remember have a big slice of Coconut Jam Slice on the afternoons I went to Grandma’s house.
She always loaded up the jam and it was simply scrumptious. This recipe is an oldie but a goodie – delicious biscuit base with a jam filling and deliciously sweet coconut topping!
Who said it had gone out of fashion!
It is also known in New Zealand as ‘Louise Slice’. Like the pavlova – the Kiwis try and claim Coconut Jam Slice as their own.. damn copy cats!
Make a huge batch and keep it sealed in an air-tight container – it will last a good week in the fridge.
