Best Simply Stunning Chocolate Fridge Cake Recipes

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!

SIMPLY STUNNING CHOCOLATE FRIDGE CAKE

Steps:

• Melt the chocolate and 150ml of the cream together in a small pan. Cool until spreadable, then use to sandwich pairs of the cookies together.
• Choose a cake stand or flat plate to assemble your cake. Tip the remaining cream, the mascarpone, Baileys and icing sugar into a big bowl, and use an electric hand whisk to beat until thick and the mixture is just holding its shape.
• Arrange some of your cookie sandwiches to make a base that almost covers the plate. Dot a little of the cream under each, and stick into position. Spread or dollop over a good layer of cream, then add another layer of cookies, a little smaller than the first. To get a neat finish, choose a front to your cake - and always start by arranging the outside ring of cookies from there (then you can snap cookies in half to fill in the middle). Repeat, making the layers smaller each time, until you finish with a single cookie and a dollop of cream on top! Chill in the fridge overnight.
