About this recipe
Sugar-free strawberry pistachio slice Thermomix TM7 recipes are exactly what you need when you crave a sweet treat without refined sugar. This no-bake style snack brings together shelled pistachios, blanched almonds and desiccated coconut in a wholesome base, sweetened naturally with monkfruit sweetener and boosted with vanilla protein powder. A layer of freeze-dried strawberries delivers an intense fruity punch, while a crisp chocolate coating finished with coconut oil adds that irresistible snap. Made in the all-in-one kitchen machine, the nuts are ground to exactly the right texture in seconds, and the chocolate is melted gently without any risk of seizing. Whether you want a healthy dessert, a post-workout snack or something to pop into a lunchbox, this slice suits every occasion and keeps well in the fridge for days.
Preparation tips
- Press the pistachio and almond base firmly into the lined tin using the back of a spoon so the slice holds together cleanly when cut. A loose base makes crumbly portions, while compact pressing gives neat, professional-looking squares.
- Store the finished slice in an airtight container in the fridge so the chocolate coating stays firm and the coconut oil does not soften. Let portions rest briefly at room temperature before serving to bring out the full strawberry and pistachio aroma.
- Swap the vanilla protein powder for an unflavoured variety if you prefer a purer pistachio taste, or use freeze-dried raspberries instead of strawberries for a tangier twist. Always add the freeze-dried fruit last so it keeps its bright colour and crunch.
Recipe variations
- Lactose-free version: choose a dark chocolate with at least seventy percent cocoa solids, which is naturally lactose-free, and keep the coconut oil as the fat base. The slice stays just as firm and the strawberry-pistachio combination remains the star.
- Festive version: sprinkle crushed freeze-dried strawberries and chopped pistachios over the melted chocolate before it sets, and add a pinch of sea salt flakes. This turns the simple slice into an elegant treat for birthdays or holiday gatherings.
