✓ 5 litre DreamPot

Ingredients

Milk arrowroot biscuits | 1 packet crushed
Desiccated coconut | 1 ½ cups
Glacé cherries | 100g finely chopped
Sweetened condensed milk | 395g tin
Butter | 125g melted
Cochineal | 1 dessertspoon

Method

  1. Fill the large inner pot with 2 litres of party ice.  Transfer into the DreamPot and close the lid.
  2. Line the base and sides of the small inner saucepan with foil.  Lightly grease the foil with butter.
  3. Using a food processor or knife, finely chop the plain biscuits and glacé cherries.  Melt the butter
  4. Place all ingredients (except the chocolate buttons) into a bowl and mix together to combine.
  5. Spoon the mixture into the small inner saucepan.  Press the mixture down very firmly with the back of a spoon.
  6. Transfer the small inner saucepan into the DreamPot for the setting time.
  7. When convenient after the minimum setting time, remove the small inner saucepan.
  8. Run a knife around the edge of the slice.  Tip slice out and remove the foil.  Decorate with melted chocolate by drizzling the milk chocolate in a pattern over the top of the slice.
  9. Allow the chocolate to set completely before slicing with a serrated knife.

Note:  Use a Glad® snap lock sandwich bag with a tiny snip in one corner as an icing bag.   To melt the chocolate, place a few blocks in the bag, seal the bag and stand it in a bowl of hot water.
