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

Ingredients you will need for this slice

  • Gingernut biscuits
  • condensed milk
  • butter
  • golden syrup
  • ground ginger (optional)
  • dark chocolate (or substitute milk chocolate)

*Please see the recipe card below for exact quantities and detailed instructions

How to make ginger slice

  1. Grease and line a 20cm (8″) square cake tin and set aside.
  2. Place Gingernut biscuits in a food processor.process image showing how to make ginger slice
  3. Process into crumbs then set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, melt part of the butter in the microwave (see recipe for amounts).image showing process of making recipe
  5. Add condensed milk and ground ginger (if using) and mix.
  6. Add golden syrup and mix.showing process of how to make slice recipe
  7. Then add biscuits crumbs.
  8. Mix until well incorporated.image showing how to make recipe
  9. Press biscuit mixture into the base of your tin, and place the tin in the fridge to start setting, while you melt the chocolate for the topping.
  10. Place dark chocolate into a bowl, along with the remaining butter.image showing process of making slice
  11. Microwave in 30 second bursts (stirring between bursts) until chocolate is melted and smooth.
  12. Pour chocolate over the top of the biscuit layer, smooth the top and refrigerate until set.image showing process of making recipe

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.

    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.

    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.
