    This is my recipe for Ginger Slice - a super simple no bake slice using ginger biscuits and dark chocolate.

    Today I'm bringing you a recipe for the isolation (non) bakers out there... it's my recipe for a no bake ginger slice. So it's not really baking, it's baking's dirty little secret - the no bake slice. This not only means less cooking (with the same amount of eating though!) but it also means this is a great recipe to get the kids involved with!pieces of slice on a white plate

    My top tips for making this slice

    • One of the big advantages of making a no bake slice is when it comes to baking/cake tins. To be more specific, you don't need one! Because we aren't going to be oven baking, you can feel free to use any suitable size container you may have on hand. I'm thinking of my overflowing Tupperware cupboard!
    • Also, these great no bake recipes are a bit more flexible when it comes to tin/container size without having to worry about varying the cook time - for this particular slice recipe a smaller tin would be fine, your layers will just be a bit thicker than mine. I wouldn't go much larger than the size I've given (20cm / 8" square) or it will come out quite thin.
    • The ground ginger is optional, I leave it in because I really like a good ginger flavour. 
    • You can substitute milk chocolate for the dark chocolate if you prefer.

        I would think so Charlotte, but I haven't vac sealed anything before! Maybe the vac sealer itself comes with some info you could refer to? Thanks for the love!

      Is golden syrup the same as honey? And is condensed milk, sweetened condensed
      Milk?

        Hi Cindy! Sorry for the late reply, the site has been undergoing some maintenance. Golden syrup is different to honey (looks like it though lol), but if you can't find golden syrup you could use honey as a substitute or maybe maple syrup. And yes, condensed milk is sweetened condensed milk. Thanks Lx

      I have just found your blog and I wanted to tell you how excited I was. My first attempt is going to be the roast potatoes followed (quickly) by the mini potato snacks. The no cook slices will be taste tested soon. This is not really meant as a comment just a silly old lady who needed a boost in life due to multiple chronic illnesses which make life a bit "down" at times. But trying these recipes should brighten up life a bit. I like your recipes also because the list of ingredients is nice and small. I avoid recipes which have 10 ingredients or more. I have more to do with life. Many thanks and good luck with your blog.

        Thanks so much!

      Hi Lee-Ann

      Can I assume that being an Aussie your measures are Australian standard eg 20ml tablespoon etc.

      Love finding Aussie recipes on Pinterest.
