Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 375 grams (13.2 ounces) digestive biscuits
- 300 grams (10.6 ounces) milk chocolate
- 180 grams (6.3 ounces) raisins
Chocolate and Binding Ingredients:
- 200 grams (7.1 ounces) unsalted butter
- 110 grams (3.9 ounces) golden syrup
- 40 grams (1.4 ounces) cocoa powder
Sugar and Sweeteners:
- 40 grams (1.4 ounces) caster sugar
Instructions
- Create a sturdy base by lining a 20cm square tin with parchment paper, ensuring complete coverage of the bottom and sides.
- Transform digestive biscuits into a textured mixture of fine crumbs and small irregular pieces using a rolling pin or food processor.
- Construct the binding sauce by gently heating butter, golden syrup, sugar, and cocoa powder in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until a smooth, glossy consistency develops.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and fold in the crushed biscuits and raisins, ensuring every morsel is thoroughly coated with the rich chocolate mixture.
- Transfer the mixture into the prepared tin, using the back of a spoon to distribute evenly and create a compact, level surface.
- Melt milk chocolate using short microwave intervals of 30 seconds, stirring between each burst to prevent burning and ensure a silky smooth texture.
- Cascade the molten chocolate over the biscuit base, using a spatula to spread it into a uniform layer that completely covers the surface.
- Chill the tiffin in the refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours, allowing the chocolate to set and the flavors to meld together.
- Before serving, let the tiffin rest at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to soften slightly, making cutting easier.
- Slice into elegant squares and present as a delectable treat.
Notes
- Customize crumb texture by varying biscuit crushing technique for desired chunkiness or smoothness.
- Choose dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate for deeper, more intense flavor profile and reduced sweetness.
- Add chopped nuts like almonds or pecans for extra crunch and nutritional boost.
- Make gluten-free by substituting digestive biscuits with gluten-free cookie alternatives for those with dietary restrictions.
