No Bake Chocolate Cake

This recipe is for a treat that has many names-no bake chocolate cake, refrigerator/fridge cake,  biscuit cake, tiffin etc. No matter what you call it, it tastes good and that’s all that matters! This version contains maltesers, but it can be made without them, or even substituting something else in their place. Enjoy! x

Ingredients

• 200g milk chocolate
• 100g unsalted butter
• 2 tbsp golden syrup
• 125g digestive biscuits
• 135g bag of Maltesers

For the topping:

• 200g milk chocolate
• 25g unsalted butter
• 1 tsp golden syrup

Method

1. Line a 20cm square baking tin with baking parchment.
2. Place the chocolate, butter and syrup in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water. (Do not let the base of the bowl touch the water). Once almost melted, remove from the heat and gently stir until any tiny bits chocolate have melted. Allow to cool a little.
3. Place the biscuits and 35g of the Maltesers in a freezer bag, seal and crush with a rolling pin. You want mainly crumbs but a few small chunks of biscuit is fine.
4. Mix together the crushed biscuits and whole Maltesers with the melted chocolate and stir until everything is coated. Press into the prepared tin.
5. For the topping, melt the chocolate, butter and syrup as before and spread over the biscuit base.
6. Cover the tin with cling film or foil and refrigerate for 1-2 hours before cutting into squares and serving.
