Ingredients
Digestive Biscuits. Digestive biscuits give this dish a slightly sweet, buttery flavor that compliments the chocolates in this recipe. When you crush these biscuits, they'll provide a nice crumbly texture to the dessert. You may use rich tea biscuits instead.
Cocoa Powder. Cocoa powder provides a rich chocolate flavor for crushed biscuits. It also gives the whole dessert a darker color, which gives it a reminiscent color of chocolate.
Raisins. Raisins are generally sweet and can add an extra layer of sweetness to the recipe. Plus, raisins can also give a chewy texture to the dish.
Butter. Unsalted butter helps mix the dry ingredients to form a chewy and dense texture. It also complements the flavors of the chocolate, giving a creamy and delicate taste.
Golden Syrup. Golden syrup helps smoothen the texture of the tiffin, and it also provides a caramel-like flavor!
Dark Chocolate. Dark Chocolate is a must-have if you want your tiffin to have a deep chocolatey flavor.
Milk Chocolate. Milk Chocolate gives this recipe a milder and creamier taste that balances the taste of dark chocolate.
Chocolate Mini Eggs. Chocolate Mini Eggs not only give a sweet flavor but also give this whole dish a creative and festive touch that is perfect for Easter! I used Cadbury’s mini eggs; however, feel free to use any brand you like.
How to Make Easter Tiffin with Mini Eggs
One: Line a 20x20cm baking tin with p parchment. Crush the biscuits into crumbs using the food processor or put the biscuits in a ziplock bag and crush them with the rolling pin.
Two: In a mixing bowl, mix the broken biscuits, cocoa powder and raisins.
Three: In a small pan, melt butter, golden syrup and a pinch of salt together until smooth.
Four: Pour the golden syrup mixture over the crumbs mixture and mix well until combined.
Five: Press the mixture firmly into the lined pan in an even layer and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
Six: Melt the dark and milk chocolate, then pour over the chilled base and sprinkle the mini eggs on top, then refrigerate for 30 minutes or until firm.
Seven: Use a sharp knife to slice it into squares and serve!
Top Tips!
- Let the tiffin chill in the fridge completely before cutting into it; otherwise, it will be too soft and crumble.
- Use high-quality ingredients to get the best possible flavor. Choose a good quality cocoa powder and golden syrup.
- Use a food processor to blitz the digestive biscuits into crumbs.
- When melting chocolate, it's crucial to do it slowly and gently to avoid burning the chocolate's texture. Use a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan or pot of simmering water. Constantly stir the chocolate until it's melted and smooth.
Recipe Variations
- Add chopped nuts such as almonds, hazelnuts, or pistachios to your chocolate tiffin for a crunchy texture and a nutty flavor. You can also add some dried fruit.
- Substitute the digestive biscuits in the recipe for gluten-free biscuits to make the tiffin gluten-free.
- You can add a few drops of vanilla extract to the wet ingredients.
- Crush Oreo cookies instead of digestive biscuits, and mix them into the chocolate and butter mixture. You can also add mini marshmallows and rocky road touches.
- Use white chocolate instead of dark one.
- To make easter rocky road, just add some mini marshmallows.
- You can substitute the mini eggs for creme eggs, or Maltesers.
Serving Suggestions
A warm mug of hot chocolate will surely pair well with the rich, chocolatey flavors of this Easter treat.
To satisfy your sweet tooth, a scoop of your favorite ice cream flavor will also complement this sweet dessert well! A cup of your go-to tea or coffee is a classic pairing with sweet treats like this recipe and can help balance out the sweetness of your dessert.
Storage
To store: Keep this dessert refrigerated to maintain its excellent texture. Put leftovers in an airtight container and store them in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
To freeze this dish, wrap it first in three layers of cling wrap before storing it in the freezer; it will last for up to 3 months. The Mini Eggs will probably lose their colorful hues when stored for a long time, but they will still be safe to eat.
Recipe FAQs
Yes, you can make this recipe ahead of time and store it in the fridge or freezer until you're ready to serve it.
Yes, you can use different types of biscuits in the recipe, like shortbread biscuits or graham crackers.
The main difference between them is marshmallows. Rocky road must have marshmallows when tiffin doesn't. Also, tiffin usually has dried fruits such as raisins or sultana.
1- Take the tiffin out of the fridge 10 - 15 minutes before cutting it.
2- Use a sharp knife to cut long strips, then cut long strips the other way to create squares (wipe the knife clean between each cut).
