Ingredients
Base
- 450 g Jammie Dodger biscuits
- 150 g Butter, melted
- 120 ml Condensed milk (from a 397g tin)
Topping
- 250 g White chocolate
- Remaining condensed milk from the tin (approx 277 ml)
- 5 teaspoons Raspberry jam
- 120 g Mini Jammie Dodgers
Instructions
- Line the tin: Line an 8×8-inch tin with baking paper to prevent sticking and make removal easy.
- Crush biscuits: Crush the Jammie Dodger biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or blender, blitzing any large lumps of jam to ensure a smooth crumb texture.
- Make base mixture: In a large bowl, combine the biscuit crumbs with melted butter and 120 ml of condensed milk, mixing well to form a wet, dough-like mixture.
- Press base: Firmly press the biscuit mixture evenly into the lined tin, forming the base of the tray bake.
- Prepare topping: Break the white chocolate into pieces and place in a saucepan with the remaining condensed milk.
- Melt topping: Gently heat the white chocolate and condensed milk over low heat, stirring until fully melted and the mixture is thick and glossy.
- Spread topping: Spoon the white chocolate topping over the biscuit base and spread it evenly to cover the entire surface.
- Swirl jam and decorate: Using a toothpick, swirl the raspberry jam into the white chocolate topping to create a marbled effect. Top with mini Jammie Dodgers for garnish.
- Refrigerate and set: Place the tray bake in the refrigerator for 4 hours to allow it to set firmly.
- Serve: Once set, cut into slices and enjoy this sweet, creamy, and crunchy treat.
Notes
- Ensure the biscuit crumbs are finely crushed for a smooth base texture.
- Swirling the raspberry jam into the topping creates an attractive marbled effect and adds bursts of fruity flavor.
- Keep the heat low when melting chocolate to avoid burning or separating.
- You can substitute raspberry jam with another fruit jam if preferred.
- This recipe requires refrigeration to set properly, so plan ahead.
