Wombat slice
Wombat slice is a raw, no-bake snack made with sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, Medjool dates and raw cacao. The Thermomix grinds and mixes everything into a sticky, chocolatey base in minutes, then combines the coconut oil and cocoa bomb topping into a glossy finish. Ideal for healthy snacking, lunchboxes or an energy boost.
About this recipe
Wombat slice Thermomix TM7 recipes bring a classic café-style raw treat straight into your kitchen. This no-bake snack relies on the all-in-one kitchen machine to do the heavy lifting: the TM7 grinds sunflower and pumpkin seeds to a coarse crumb, then works pitted Medjool dates into a sticky, caramel-scented paste that binds the base together. Raw cacao powder and dark coconut nectar syrup add a deep chocolate flavour without refined sugar, while natural vanilla extract rounds everything out. A topping of melted coconut oil and Lowan cocoa bombs sets into a glossy, firm layer after a short chill in the fridge. Searching for a healthy snack, a vegan dessert or something for the lunchbox? This slice freezes well, slices cleanly and delivers fudgy, seed-packed squares that keep everyone satisfied between meals.
Preparation tips
- Press the seed and date mixture firmly into a lined tin using the back of a spoon so the wombat slice holds together when cut; a loose base will crumble into pieces after chilling.
- Store the finished slice in an airtight container in the fridge, where the coconut oil topping stays firm; the squares also freeze beautifully between sheets of baking paper for lunchbox portions.
- If Medjool dates feel dry, soak them briefly in warm water before adding, and swap the dark coconut nectar for maple syrup if you prefer a milder sweetness alongside the raw cacao.
Recipe variations
- Nutty variation: replace half the sunflower seeds with almonds or hazelnuts and press cacao nibs into the topping for extra crunch alongside the Medjool dates.
- Festive variation: add a pinch of ground cinnamon and orange zest to the date base, then decorate the set cocoa topping with freeze-dried raspberries for a seasonal gift-worthy slice.
