No bake

tarshlove, Jun 9, 6:25am
Evening all. I was wondering if you could help with recipes that are specifically No bake ones.
My friend thinks she is a terrible baker, she thinks everything she bakes turns out terrible. I was hoping to build up her confidence with some no bake recipes.

Fudgecake? In the Edmonds cook book, is a no bake. I used to make it when I was a kid. Would be heaps online however I know that one works and tastes great.

And is she right? Have you tasted? Some praise will build her confidence .

APRICOT FUDGE CAKE
115g butter
85g brown sugar
½ x 395g can sweetened condensed milk
1 x 250g packet wine biscuits, crushed
½ cup firmly packed, chopped dried apricots
caster sugar

Heat the butter, brown sugar and sweetened condensed milk just until the butter melts. Remove from the heat and add the biscuits and the apricots. Mix well, then press the mixture into a greased and base-lined 19cm square tin. Allow to set for a few minutes, then sprinkle the top with caster sugar. Set in the refrigerator, then cut into fingers.

Hope that helps. :-))

PINEAPPLE LUMP SLICE
Melt 1 tin sweetened condensed milk with 200gms butter.
Add to two packets of crushed malt biscuits and a packet of chopped pineapple lumps (if you keep them in the fridge they're super easy to chop).

Press into tin. Top with dessicated coconut or chocolate icing (or both, as per the latest batch in my biscuit tin).

Chill, cut into squares.

Couldn't be much simpler than that. and sooooo good!
