Ginger Slice – No Bake

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!

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.
3. Process into crumbs then set aside.
4. In a large bowl, melt part of the butter in the microwave (see recipe for amounts).
5. Add condensed milk and ground ginger (if using) and mix.
6. Add golden syrup and mix.
7. Then add biscuits crumbs.
8. Mix until well incorporated.
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.
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.

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.
