Description
"Fridge cake" of crushed biscuits
Technical
Tiffin is a form of cake-like confection composed of crushed biscuits, sugar, syrup, raisins, chocolate, and cocoa powder, 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. As a consequence the product may also be known as "fridge cake" or another similar term.
