Ginger Tiffin (Vegan + Nut Free)

Recently I've been enjoying playing around with some different flavours, and ginger has definitely been one of them! I love how refreshing it is and that it gives a small "kick" to bakes. This recipe for Ginger Tiffin (Vegan + Nut Free) is so simple and easy to follow - but the result is super tasty.

Whilst I'm a huge fan of baking cakes and waiting for them to rise and then cool, I also enjoy a traybake where you just melt, stir and pop it in the fridge - without the worry of burning!

This recipe is based off my Chocolate Cranberry Tiffin (Vegan) recipe, although I adapted this recipe to make slightly smaller portions and used a loaf tin as the tray, so this is a good bake if you want to make enough for one or two people (definitely enough for one!). I use ginger nut biscuits (which admittedly are a favourite of mine - very more-ish) for the base, and mixed fruit and dried ginger throughout. Obviously topped it with lovely melted chocolate because that's one of the best bits of a tiffin, any excuse to eat chocolate! I pretty much always use Bournville chocolate now as it's dairy free, but you can substitute in any that you prefer.

Total time: 1 hour 30 minutes

Yield: 8 Squares

Ingredients

• 115g Ginger Nut biscuits (I used Tesco's)
• 1 Tbsp Caster Sugar
• 1 Tbsp Golden Syrup
• 50g Dairy Free Butter
• 80g Mixed Dried Fruit & Crystallised Ginger (plus extra for topping)
• 100g Dairy Free Dark or Milk Chocolate

Cooking Directions

1. Crush the biscuits into fine crumbs (doesn't matter if there are a few chunkier bits!).
2. Melt the sugar, syrup and butter together, then stir into the crushed biscuits.
3. Fold in the mixed dried fruit until fully combined, leaving a little aside to decorate at the end.
4. Line a loaf pan with cling film or a paper case. Spoon the mixture into the tin then cool in the fridge for 30 minutes.
5. Melt your chocolate then pour this on top, then sprinkle with a handful of mixed dried fruit.
6. Leave to set in the fridge for around 30 minutes, then remove from the fridge for 5 minutes before cutting into squares.
7. Enjoy!
