Ingredients

  • 1 cup (100g) chocolate digestives
  • 1 cup (80g) nice/shortcake biscuits
  • 1 cup (80g) malted milk biscuits
  • 1/2 cup (82g) raisins or dried apricots
  • 4 meringue nests, optional
  • 1/2 cup (65g) chopped pecans/pistachios, optional
  • 1 stick (113g) unsalted butter
  • 5 tbsp golden syrup
  • 5 oz (140g) milk chocolate
  • 5 oz (140g) dark chocolate

Instructions

  • Place a double layer of cling film into an 8x8 inch square pan and spray with cooking spray.
  • Break up the biscuits and meringue nests into a large bowl and then add the dried fruit and nuts (if using).
  • Place the butter, golden syrup, milk and dark chocolate into a medium sized saucepan and place over a low heat. Stir frequently until everything is melted. Be careful not to scorch or boil the chocolate. Once you see there are a few tiny lumps left, remove from heat and continue to stir until everything is melted.
  • Pour the chocolate mixture into your biscuit mix and stir until all the biscuit mixture is covered in chocolate.
  • Tip the whole mixture into your prepared pan and squish into an even layer with a wooden spoon/spatula.
  • Place in the fridge for at least 2 hours, you can also leave it overnight. Once set, gently lift the fridge cake out of the pan and peel the cling film off. Place on a cutting board, dust with cocoa powder, if desired and slice into 9-12 squares.
  • Chocolate Fridge Cake will keep in an airtight container, in the fridge, for a week.
