Description

This Dark Chocolate Orange Tiffin Traybake is a no-bake, indulgent treat combining crunchy bourbon biscuits with zesty orange-flavored dark chocolate. Perfect for a quick yet impressive dessert, this traybake features a smooth layer of melted dark chocolate atop a buttery biscuit base, set to perfection in the refrigerator.

Ingredients

Biscuit Base

  • 250 g bourbon biscuits or Oreo cookies

Chocolate Orange Mixture

  • 125 g dark chocolate orange
  • 80 g unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp golden syrup
  • 1 zest of orange

Topping

  • 175 g dark chocolate

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tray: Line the baking tray with baking parchment to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the tiffin later.
  2. Crush the Biscuits: Place the bourbon biscuits into a large plastic bag, seal it, and bash with a rolling pin until reduced to crumbs. Transfer the crumbs to a large mixing bowl.
  3. Grate Orange Zest: Finely grate the zest of one orange to add a fresh citrus aroma to the chocolate mixture.
  4. Melt Chocolate Orange Mixture: In a glass bowl, combine 125 g of dark chocolate orange, unsalted butter, golden syrup, and the grated orange zest. Place this bowl over a pan of simmering water and stir continuously until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
  5. Combine with Biscuits: Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the biscuit crumbs and mix thoroughly until all crumbs are well coated.
  6. Set the Base: Transfer the chocolate biscuit mixture into the lined baking tray. Use the back of a metal spoon to spread and press the mixture evenly across the tray and into the corners. Chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to set.
  7. Melt Dark Chocolate Topping: Break up the 175 g dark chocolate into a clean bowl. Melt it over a pan of simmering water, stirring gently until smooth.
  8. Add Chocolate Topping: Remove the tray from the refrigerator and pour the melted dark chocolate evenly over the biscuit base. Return the tray to the refrigerator.
  9. Chill to Set: Allow the tiffin to chill in the fridge for another 50 minutes, or until the chocolate topping is firm and set.
  10. Serve: Once fully set, remove from the fridge. Lift the tiffin out of the tray using the parchment paper, then cut into squares. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for freshness.

Notes

  • Use bourbon biscuits for a classic tiffin flavor, or substitute with Oreo cookies for a twist.
  • Ensure the bowls used for melting chocolate are dry to prevent seizing.
  • Press the biscuit mixture firmly into the tray to avoid crumbling when cutting.
  • The golden syrup helps bind the mixture and adds a subtle sweetness.
  • Store in the fridge and consume within 5 days for best taste and texture.
