Crispy Chocolate Fridge Cake Recipes

CRISPY CHOCOLATE FRIDGE CAKE

Steps:

• Line a 20 x 30cm tin with baking parchment. Melt the chocolate, butter and golden syrup in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water, stirring occasionally, until smooth and glossy. Add the vanilla, biscuits, sultanas and Rice Krispies, and mix well until everything is coated.
• Tip the mixture into the tin, then flatten it down with the back of a spoon. Press in some mini eggs, if using, and put in the fridge until set. When hard, drizzle all over with the melted white chocolate and set again before cutting into chunks.

CHOCOLATE FRIDGE CAKE

Steps:

• Use cling film to line a 20cm (8in) shallow, square-shaped tin. Leave extra cling film hanging over the sides.
• Bash the biscuits into pieces using a rolling pin. (Put them in a plastic bag first so they don't go everywhere!)
• Melt chocolate, butter and golden syrup in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Stir occasionally.
• Remove the bowl from the heat and stir in the broken biscuits, apricots, raisins and pecans (optional).
• Spoon the mixture into the tin. Level the surface by pressing it down with a potato masher.
• Leave to cool, then put the chocolate mixture in the fridge for 1-2 hours to set.
• Turn out the cake and peel off the cling film. Cut the cake into 12 squares and enjoy!

CHOCOLATE CARAMEL CRISPY CAKES

Steps:

• Break the candy bars into bits and drop them into a saucepan. Add the butter and melt, over lowish heat, stirring frequently with a rubber spatula. When everything is melted (the nougat-like layer takes the longest to go), tip in the cereal and turn them, with your rubber spatula, in the chocolate mixture until they are all pretty well coated.
• Fill the mini muffin papers with the mixture and put in the refrigerator, on a small sheet pan or tray, for at least 1 hour.

CHOCOLATE FRIDGE CAKE

Steps:

• Break the biscuits into small pieces directly into a large bowl. Add the pecans, pistachio nuts, cherries and bits of meringue. Put the rest of the ingredients, except the cocoa powder, into a bowl and put over a pan of simmering water on low heat to melt.
• Mix the ingredients together and place in the container which acts as your mold. To help with turning out, line a 12 by 8-inch (30 by 20 centimeter) container with cling film, first leaving plenty of extra film at the edges to fold over the top.
• Leave in the refrigerator to firm up then turn out and cut into chunky slices. This cake can be kept in an airtight container and actually improves after a couple of days.

Steps:

• Break the biscuits into small pieces and put in a large bowl.

• Line a loaf pan with saran wrap, leaving lots of extra at the edges to cover the top of the finished cake.
• Spoon the mixture into the loaf pan.
• You may have to use the back of the spoon to pack it down.
• Pull the extra saran wrap over the top and use your hands to push down firmly on the cake, making sure it is well packed together.
• Place in the fridge for two hours to cool, then take out and slice.
• For a special touch, dust with cocoa powder.
