Slice Recipes

Australian slices are easy, nostalgic tray-bake desserts that are typically cut into squares or rectangles once set. They’re often no-bake or simple baked recipes made with pantry staples, making them perfect for lunchboxes, parties and afternoon tea.

Slices are always a hit and this collection of slice recipes has all your favourites and more. I've sourced the recipes from community cookbooks, old newspapers and magazines, Nana Ling's handwritten books and my mum's recipe collection. My mum is a fabulous home cook and also spent decades as a pastry cook in Aussie country bakeries, so I have many fabulous bakery slice recipes.

Want to make perfect slices every time?
Before choosing a recipe, take a look at The complete guide to making and baking Australian slices. It covers everything from choosing and lining your slice tin to creating even layers, cutting slices neatly and storing them properly.
