Classic Coconut Jam Slice Recipe – Easy Aussie Bake Everyone Loves

The Coconut Jam Slice is an iconic Australian bake, loved for its nostalgic charm and simple, satisfying flavours. Often found in country bakeries, school fetes, and childhood lunchboxes, this slice combines a buttery shortbread-style base with sweet jam—usually raspberry—and a golden, chewy coconut topping. Its exact origins are a little fuzzy, but like many Aussie classics, it likely evolved from British traybakes and was embraced across Australia in the mid-20th century thanks to its easy ingredients and crowd-pleasing appeal. Whether you grew up with it or are discovering it for the first time, this slice is a bite of pure comfort.
