Description
Biscuit Caramel Squares: the no-bake treat made from cookie crumbs and pure magic
Turn leftover biscuits into something incredible with this easy fridge-set dessert. All you need is caramel condensed milk, crushed cookies, and a few minutes. Try it once and you’ll be hooked.
Ingredients
Melt together:
- 200g margarine
- 1 can of caramel condensed milk
- 500g icing sugar (or make your own, see below)
- Pinch of salt
Then add:
- 2 packets crushed biscuits (**see note below)
- 1 1/2 cups cake fruit mix (dried fruit blend)
Optional:
- Pine nuts for topping (or any kind of nuts you like)
To Make Icing Sugar (if you don’t have any):
- 475g berry sugar or white sugar
- 2 1/2 tsp cornstarch
Blend sugar and cornstarch in a blender for about 1 minute until it turns into a fine powder.
Biscuit Note:
You can use any cookies you’ve got on hand! One batch used:
- 1 pack of Tennis biscuits
- 1/4 pack sugar-free shortbread
- About 10 macadamia + milk chocolate cookies
The mix of cookie types adds great texture and flavor.
Extra Tip:
For a firmer square, stir 4 heaped teaspoons of Cornflour (mixed with water into a paste) into the caramel mix before microwaving. Heat for about 5 minutes until it thickens. The thicker the caramel mix, the better it sets.
Instructions
- Toss the margarine, caramel condensed milk, icing sugar, and salt into a big microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave for 1–2 minutes. Take it out and whisk until smooth with no lumps.
- Stir in the crushed biscuits and dried fruit. Use a sturdy spoon or spatula and mix well so everything is coated.
- Spoon the mixture into a greased flat pan and press it down firmly.
- Sprinkle over pine nuts if you want.
- Chill in the fridge until set (overnight is best).
- Cut into bite-sized squares and keep them in an airtight container in the fridge. They’ll soften if left out too long.
