Tiffin (confectionery)
"Fridge cake" of crushed biscuits
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tiffin is a form of cake-like confection composed of crushed biscuits (most commonly digestive biscuits), sugar, syrup, raisins, chocolate and cocoa powder,[1][2] often covered with a layer of melted striped chocolate. Unlike regular cakes, tiffin does not require baking. Instead, following preparation of the mixture, the confection is chilled until set.[3] As a consequence the product may also be known as "fridge cake" or another similar term.
