Sophie's Pi

Mathematical baking

Sophie’s Pi is a record of my adventures in baking, maths and the real world, hoping to make my way to having my own patisserie empire some day. Or just getting to lick the bowl now and again.

50. Tiffin

February 16, 2020 by Sophie Faulkner in Recipe

As my rugby match today was cancelled AGAIN today, thanks to Storms Ciara and Dennis, I asked my Instagram followers what they’d like me to bake. An old friend suggested ‘best ever fridge cake’, which could only mean making some good old tiffin. Thanks Louisa (@loukdavis) for the suggestion! Mum used to make tiffin when I was younger and honestly it is the best fridge cake in my opinion, and very easy to do. Extremely doable for kids!

If you want a step by step with pictures/videos, I instagrammed the full recipe process and have it as a highlight on my Insta page. Have a look and a follow if you don’t already!

Makes 9 squares

Ingredients

  • 100g butter, cubed

  • 250g chocolate

  • 3 tbsp sugar

  • 3 tbsp golden syrup

  • 200g digestives

  • Handful of raisins, or sultanas

Method

  1. Line a small baking tin with clingfilm. This will make getting your tiffin out REALLY easy.

  2. Melt your butter, 50g of the chocolate, the sugar and golden syrup in a pan or bain marie (bowl over a pan of simmering water).

  3. Bash up your digestives until you have some bite size pieces of biscuit and lots of crumbs.

  4. Add the biscuits and raisins/sultanas to the melted chocolate/butter and mix until well combined.

  5. Press the biscuit mixture into your lined tin as flat as possible.

  6. Melt the remaining 200g of chocolate in the microwave or on a bain marie, then pour and spread over the biscuit layer.

  7. Put in the fridge to set for at least 2 hours.

  8. Take out of the tin and cut with a large sharp knife into squares and enjoy!
