Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 350 g digestive biscuits
- 150 g unsalted butter
- 3 tbsp golden syrup
- 250 g dark chocolate
- 150 g milk chocolate
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 100 g dried cranberries
- 2 tbsp icing sugar
Instructions
Line a 20 cm round or square cake tin with parchment paper for easy removal later.
Break the digestive biscuits into small pieces by hand or using a rolling pin, ensuring there are both small crumbs and chunkier pieces.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter, golden syrup, dark chocolate, and milk chocolate together, stirring continuously until smooth and well combined.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Add the broken biscuits and dried cranberries to the chocolate mixture, folding everything together until the biscuits and cranberries are fully coated.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared cake tin, pressing it down firmly with the back of a spoon to ensure it is tightly packed.
Smooth the top and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until the cake is completely set.
Once set, remove the cake from the tin using the parchment paper for leverage. Place it on a serving plate.
Dust the top with icing sugar before serving.
Cut into slices and serve chilled.
