cherry and pistachio fridge cake

The oven is broken. We are getting a new one delivered and fitted next week. Until then all baking is off and meals are all made via the hob. Sometimes I just feel the urge to bake or make something and last night was no exception so I decided to make a chocolate treat with or without an oven.


I have made this before and it is so easy and you can mix and match the ingredients to no end.


Ingredients:
500g of melted dark chocolate (milk will do also)
300g of digestive biscuits
150g butter
50g of dessicated coconut
100g of shelled pistachios
100g of dried sour cherries (Sainsburys have them)
2 tablespoons of golden syrup

Method:
Crush the biscuits (I use a rolling pin) making sure you have a good mix of crumbs and chunkier pieces

Melt the chocolate, golden syrup and butter over hot water.

Mix in the melted mixture with the cherries, nuts and biscuits.

Press the mixture firmly in a clingfilmed lined tray.

Refrigerate for 2 hours until set.

Slice and serve.

I like to think that with all the nuts and dried fruit, this is healthy but it is so obviously not. Things like this don't last long in our household.
