Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 180 degrees C (160 degrees C if using fan forced). Grease a 5cm-deep 20 x 26cm roasting pan and line it with baking paper.
- Combine the pistachios and cranberries in a bowl, saving a couple of tablespoons for garnish.
- Crush the Weet-Bix biscuits into a fine crumb in a separate bowl and mix in the shredded coconut, self-raising flour, brown sugar, and pistachio-cranberry mixture.
- Fold in the melted butter, spread the mixture into the prepared pan, and press down firmly.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until golden. Let it cool.
Making the Marshmallow Topping
- In a saucepan, combine caster sugar and 125ml of water and melt over low heat.
- Increase the heat until it bubbles.
- In a small bowl, soak the gelatine in 80ml of water before adding it to the sugar mixture and stirring until blended.
- Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then transfer to a stand mixer, add vanilla, and whisk on various speeds for a total of 17 minutes, incorporating pink food coloring gel.
- Pour the marshmallow topping over the Weet-Bix base and refrigerate for about 6 hours until set.
Serving
- Once set, slice into squares and top with whipped cream, reserved cranberries, and coconut.
Notes
Keep slices in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. For variations, you can swap cranberries for apricots or raisins.
