The Finest Np-Bake Leftover Chocolate And Biscuit Recipe

There are a great deal of lovely recipes for leftover ham, turkey, sprouts, and spuds.

However this yr, the near-unthinkable has occurred: we’re left with mountains of leftover chocolate and biscuits.

It’s my fault; I grew up in a giant household, and am ontologically incapable of cooking or shopping for for 2.

So seeing as I’m accountable for the sugary concern, I made a decision I’d be the one to seek out the answer. This yr, we’ll be turning our remaining Celebrations and shortbreads into an NYE party-worthy fridge cake.

I’ve written earlier than about my good rocky street recipe, which makes use of 800g of biscuits to 150ml Golden syrup, 250g nuts, marshmallows, and/or dried fruit, and 275bg butter to 225g chocolate.

The Odlums recipe elevates the fridge cake above its normal bake sale standing by cooling the combo in a cake tin and overlaying it in chocolate when cool, dotting ornamental Maltesers on its prime.

The dessert is ideal for lever Christmas treats as a result of it’s type of like candy bubble and squeak; you may get away with loads as long as butter, chocolate, golden syrup, and biscuits are concerned.

Your leftover Danish butter cookies, shortbread, and even gingerbread will make a tremendous biscuit base (add a tiny bit much less chocolate in the event that they’re chocolate-coated).

You’ll be able to chop up leftover choice tin goodies and add them into the combo too; Mary Berry loves Crunchies in her rocky street, whereas chewy Milky Methods or Turkish Delight will add some texture to the dish.

Melted-down Toblerone will make a beautiful chocolate base for the cake, as will Terry’s chocolate orange (for the citrus/chocolate lovers) ― although I’d advocate mixing each with darkish chocolate, for stability and construction.

Nuts, fudge, and dried fruits are all good accompaniments too.

And if you happen to’ve nonetheless obtained some fancy chocs, like Ferrero Rocher or expensive truffles leftover, they will crown that chocolate prime for a showstopping show.

It’s onerous to finish up with a chocolate/sugar/biscuit/butter combine that tastes unhealthy. However if you happen to’ve obtained an enormous array of chocolate leftover, it’s essential to contemplate how any robust flavours will work collectively.

For example, a ginger snap and darkish chocolate fridge cake sounds scrumptious (particularly with crystallised ginger chunks), however a strawberry cream and orange chocolate combine could not sit effectively collectively.

Ratios are essential too; don’t add tons of of grams of chocolate into the combo with out adjusting the unique addition.

And whereas rocky street or chocolate fridge cake is commonly used to do away with softened, outdated biccies, I like to recommend avoiding any which are greater than a few days previous their greatest; no person needs a tragic, soggy slice to ring in 2025.
