Creamy Pistachio No Bake Slice is vegan and gluten free too. Besides that it is delicious

Pistachio No bake slice pieces.

I have a surprise for you. This Creamy Pistachio No Bake Slice has some interesting ingredients

I was wondering if it is because I am getting old that time feels like it is speeding on relentlessly fast, but thank fully everyone I know that is under 30 can’t keep up either. It’s a crazy fast world alright. How are you coping in your corner of the world?

In My Kitchen this month I have a lot happening and most of it involves either cakes or preparing cakes.

cakes stacked ready to put together

These are layers of chocolate cake getting ready to be made into an engagement cake next weekend. All of the decorations and fillings will be made during the week and put together Saturday morning for delivery to the party.

A box of pancake mix Kialla Foods

This large box full of pancake mix is a little project I am working on for Kialla Pure Foods in Queensland. The mix is organic as are all of there ingredients and I am making anything I can OTHER than pancakes with them and that’s the challenge. How would you go?. I have to say they make wonderfully fluffy wholesome pancakes.

And I have this too…

Pistachio no bake slice ready to cut

It’s a recipe I saw here it caught my eye because I have just spent the weekend with my sisters and one of them can’t digest dairy or gluten anymore and this recipe is perfect for her. It won’t be for everyone, but I know my sister will love it.  It is dairy and gluten free and it’s green…..that’s good isn’t it?

It is Vegan if you make it with coconut butter but I have used butter instead of coconut butter for making this in my house because I don’t like coconut butter….OMG did I really just say that? I do not like the taste of coconut butter. If you do then you use it.  While I am telling you the secret truth I hate Kale too, there!

Warning this contains avocado…..that’s why it’s green.

    I have not used coconut butter yet, use coconut oil. The no bake squares look beautiful, love the color. I can’t wait to see a picture of the engagement cake.

    I can take or leave coconut butter, to be honest I am rather meh about it. Even though I eat dairy and gluten these squares look amazing and I would be very happy to woof down one or two or three.

    I was getting excited about the slice thinking it was marshmallow! Avocado to me must be like kale to you. I love the sound of the base, might integrate that into something. Shame the pancake mix comes in plastic bottles, it would be nice if they could use paper packaging like their flour bags etc. I am a bit of an anti plastic ‘bangeronerer’ though. Looking forward to some pics of the finished cake. Cheers, Maree 🙂

    Your pistachio slice looks simply amazing. I find coconut butter a bit too much too. Loving that stack of cakes aswell. Thanks for the peek into your kitchen

    I’m liking the look of your pistachio square very much. As for the pancake batter, I wondered if it would work as a substitute for Yorkshire pudding batter? If it does, I am thinking monster Yorkshire puddings drizzled with golden syrup, a dash of cream and a generous handful of raspberries. Good luck!

    Sounds so interesting! I’m trying to imagine the flavour and texture of this. Good luck with the engagement cake. Every time I swear off making a special occasion cake then I get suckered right in again 😛

    I can’t wait to see the engagement cake – it looks like it’s going to be quite a project. Those squares are a really pretty colour. I’m quite sure I wouldn’t know what to do with that pancake mix apart from making pancakes. Good luck! xx

    Well that cake just blows you away with its colour doesn’t it!? Looks fab. I like coconut but am not a fan of all the coconut oil in everything at present. It’s just too much. We are nearly at the end of the year so I hope it has been kind to you : )

    Who doesn’t love a no bake slice? How do your cakes keep? I am making a wedding cake for my best friend this weekend and I was planning on freezing them.

    I’ve never even tried coconut butter. I use coconut oil in cooking sometimes, but I have to be careful as too much makes my stomach ache a little. You can never have too much butter, providing you use the real stuff!
    That pancake challenge sounds fun, I’d love to hear what you end up doing with it.
    Have fun with the engagement cake!

    I bet the engagement cake will be beautiful! Not so sure about the other cake.

    And I know what you mean about time flying by, all too quickly these days. It will soon be Christmas, yikes!

    There’s nothing wrong with not liking coconut butter. I think even if I had to give up regular butter for dietary reasons, I’d still sneak it in somehow. I really like the colour of this slice!
