Cake people I need help.

[WhatWouldYouDoWhatWouldJesusDo]

It's dps birthday and I had planned caramel shortbread but alas. The shortbread went to pot. Tasty, but it collapsed. 🙄

So I have 2 tins of condensed milk, two chocolate bars, butter, a jif lemon, syrup, a pot of double cream, and digestive biscuits. I picked up a pack earlier thinking I could cobble together a cheesecake.

So I was thinking of some description. But what ? 🤔

Birthday is tomorrow. His gift is a steak dinner and bottles of beer because his presents haven't arrived 😂😂😂

Have you tried fudge? I made a nice chocolate fudge with chocolate, condensed milk and icing sugar?

I make cheesecake with soft cheese, double cream, usually chocolate and digestives with butter so I'm not much help sorry!!!

Digestive biscuits crushed with melted butter for the base
Make a chocolate mousse with the cream and chocolate and put on top of the base.

there's a recipe for lemon bars doing the roundds on fb...it was crushed digestives for a base, lemon juice, egg yolks and a tin of condensed milk for the filling, and into the oven with it for about 15 minutes I think

I thought i might do that and fancy it up with weeny little meringues on each square

it's very similar to a quick lemon meringue pie recipe i had, I'll see if i can find it

Do you have any bananas? If so, you could make banoffee - crushed biscuits and melted butter for the base, condensed milk boiled into caramel, layered with sliced banana, whipped double cream on top, finished with grated chocolate.

this is very similar....you could sub ordinary sugar for the brown

Lemon Bars

Otherwise you could do a chocolate caramel tart....This one is a family favourite you could sub the digestives for the oreos...maybe a little more butter to hold the crumbs and again you can sub normal sugar for the brown.

I was thinking banoffee too.

Or maybe a cobbled caramel shortbread using digestives as the base 🤔

We have brown sugar Laurie, leftover from Christmas. !

I insist!!!

Lemon cheese cake.

No bake.

Dead easy.

Promise!

Just the tins of condensed milk, the double cream. The lemon juice will seize it all together!

I'd do this Millionaire's shortbread using digestives instead

Here's one that uses digestives

Oh I'm conflicted. 😭😭😭

I'm even thinking a banoffee but with chocolate melted over the banana layer then topped with cream. Or is that going too far ??

Do the banoffee!! My only concern would be the chocolate forming a bit of a rock solid layer once it hardens. But it would be delish!

millionaire's is much nicer with digestive and butter base. The saltiness offsets the caramel perfectly. Its too sweet with shortbread.

Oh it would.

Pressure is on, this is my first pandemic cake 😭😭😭

I'd crush the shortbread, stick together with butter, and carry on with millionaires shortbread, which is a trillion times nicer than any of the other suggestions (I'm not a cream fan)

Kitten the shortbread vanished in a flurry of taste testing

Right. I'm going in. Going to crush the biscuits and see where my brain takes me

Make ice-cream from the cream and condensed milk. Make a biscuit base with the digestives and maybe some of the shortbread. Stick the ice-cream on the base in the tin, swirl through some caramel sauce, freeze. Melt the chocolate, pour on top, freeze. Chocolate caramel ice cream cake!

Double cream
Syrup

What did you make in the end @WhatWouldYouDoWhatWouldJesusDo ?

Scon I went for caramel shortbread type using digestives as.the base. I wanted to make a banoffee but no bananas.

So gone for that, I'm going to top it with a chocolate orange bar and I've raided the sweets so I can spell out a few age appropriate insults 😂😂😂

And I burnt myself 3 times making the caramel 🙄
