Bounty slice (Noni Jenkins)
Bounty slice is a no-bake coconut and dark chocolate snack made entirely in the Thermomix. Shredded coconut, coconut milk, honey and vanilla are pressed into a firm base, then enrobed in melted dark chocolate. The TM7 mixes the coconut filling evenly and melts the chocolate gently, giving a professional sweet treat with minimal effort.
About this recipe
Bounty slice with the Thermomix TM7 brings the beloved coconut-and-chocolate bar straight into your kitchen as an easy no-bake dessert. If you have been searching for a bounty slice recipe, a healthy homemade snack, or simply clever uses for your all-in-one kitchen machine, this is the one to try. The base is a firm, chewy mixture of shredded coconut bound with coconut milk, melted coconut oil, raw honey, vanilla bean extract and a pinch of sea salt, pressed into a tin until set. The finishing touch is a glossy layer of dark chocolate, melted gently in the mixing bowl so it never scorches. Because everything happens in one appliance, there is no double boiler, no splashed hob and barely any washing up. These slices are gluten-free by nature, travel well in a lunchbox, and disappear quickly at birthday parties, coffee mornings or as an after-dinner treat with espresso.
Preparation tips
- Press the coconut mixture firmly and evenly into the lined tin using the back of a spoon or a small glass; a well-compacted base is what gives the Bounty slice its characteristic dense, chewy bite rather than a crumbly one.
- Melt the coconut oil before combining it with the shredded coconut and honey so the mixture binds quickly; once the slices are set, store them in the fridge in an airtight container between baking paper to keep the chocolate shell firm.
- For a cleaner cut, chill the fully set slice thoroughly and use a hot, dry knife, wiping it between cuts; swapping the raw honey for maple syrup keeps the recipe plant-based without losing the sticky sweetness.
Recipe variations
- Vegan variation: replace the raw honey with maple syrup or agave syrup and choose a high-cocoa dark chocolate without milk products; the coconut base stays wonderfully chewy and the entire Bounty slice remains dairy-free and gluten-free.
- Festive variation: stir the grated zest of an orange or a pinch of ground cardamom into the coconut mixture and sprinkle flaked almonds or freeze-dried raspberries over the melted dark chocolate before it sets for an elegant party version.
