Raspberry Coconut Slice

Method

Preheat oven 180ºC fan forced.

1. Base: beat egg whites and sugar in a medium sized mixing bowl for 1 minute using an electric beater.
2. Add milk to melted margarine then pour into bowl and combine.
3. Fold in sifted flour and combine.
4. Press mixture over the base of a slab tin (18cm x 28cm) that has been coated with cooking spray. Use your hand to flatten and spread evenly over base. (Dip hand in flour so mixture doesn’t stick)
5. Topping: Microwave jam for 30 seconds, then spread evenly over base.
6. Beat egg whites in a medium sized mixing bowl using an electric beater until stiff and forming peaks. Gradually add small amounts of sugar (like making a meringue) beating well until sugar has dissolved.

Variation: For a lower sugar and kilojoule count replace with diet jam.
