Scrape down the sides of your bowl and add the egg yolk. Mix for 7 seconds, Speed 4 or until a soft dough forms.

Press the dough into the base of the prepared slice tin.

Use the back of a spoon to help spread the mixture out evenly.

Place the tray into the oven and bake for approximately 13 - 15 minutes or until lightly golden brown.

Allow the base to cool for 10 minutes before spreading the raspberry jam over the top.

To make the topping, place the caster sugar, egg and coconut into your Thermomix bowl and mix for 20 seconds, Speed 2, or until combined.
