Cookie Dough Tiffin

September 26, 2016 By Dane McGregor Leave a Comment

I bet you have two thoughts, yum I love cookie dough and what the heck is a tiffin! A tiffin is cake-like slice full of chocolate, crushed biscuits and other bits and bobs. I think of it as a cross between the lolly log and a rocky-road with the bonus that it too doesn’t need to be baked. If you’ve never tried one before, then you really need to.

I’ve come up with my own fusion for the tiffin, I’ve added cookie dough!

So accompanying my ready to eat (egg free) raw cookie dough, I’ve paired it  with cream crackers to give a sweet and salty contrast which is then held together with chocolate. If you have a sweet tooth and love cookie dough as much as I do, you’ll crush on this slice!

For best results I like to use the cookie dough when it’s frozen. So if you’re prepared you can make the dough the night before, then it’s ready to cut up when needed.

Serves: 40-50 Pieces
Ingredients
  • Cookie Dough
  • 80g Butter - Softened
  • 60g Caster Sugar
  • 40g Brown Sugar
  • 100g Plain Flour
  • ½ Teaspoon Salt
  • 25g Chocolate Chips
  • 2 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 2 Tablespoons Milk

  • Slice
  • 100g Butter
  • 300g Dark Chocolate
  • 160g Golden Syrup
  • 250g Cream Crackers
  • 230g Frozen Cookie Dough

  • Topping
  • 200g Milk Chocolate
  • Chocolate Chips - Optional
  • Cookie Dough - Optional
Instructions
  1. Let's start with the cookie dough, add all ingredients to a free-standing mixture and beat until well combined, forming a firm dough.
  2. Flatten dough out on a piece of cling film (about 2cm thick), wrap it up and place in the freezer until you're ready to use. Ideally for a few hours or overnight.
  3. With the dough frozen, let's start on the slice and line a square 20cm baking tin with baking paper.
  4. Either using a food processor or a rolling pin, blitz or crush the cream crackers to a crumb and place in a large bowl.
  5. In a medium sized pot add the dark chocolate, golden syrup and butter. Place this over a larger pot of boiling water and stir until all melted and combined. Make sure the top pot doesn't touch the water below.
  6. Pour this mixture over top of the cracker crumbs and mix through. Allow to cool slightly as you cut up your cookie dough.
  7. Remove cookie dough from the freezer and dice into 1cm cubes. Add to the chocolate mixture, working gently not to melt and squash cookie dough too much.
  8. Once you're happy, press the mixture firmly in to your prepared tray and place in the fridge for 10 minutes.
  9. In another medium sized pot add the milk chocolate for the topping. Place this one in a larger pot of boiling water and stir until melted.
  10. Pour melted milk chocolate over the slice and smoothen out. Sprinkle with chocolate chips and more cookie dough if you like. Return to the fridge and continue to chill for 1-2 hours.
  11. When ready to serve, remove slice from fridge 10 minutes before cutting up into bite sized pieces. Enjoy!

I love cake, but I also love coffee. And this seas I love cake, but I also love coffee. And this season calls for plenty of iced coffees. 

The perfect pairing with an iced coffee is this Chocolate Coffee Cake with a Coffee Mascarpone filling, recipe below. Hands up if you love both cake and iced coffees 🙌🏼.

✏️ Chocolate Coffee Cake

500g @bakelshomebaking Moist Chocolate Cake Baking Mix
½ Cup Water (Room Temp)
4 Eggs (Size 6 or 7)
1 Cup Vegetable Oil
2 Tablespoons Granulated Coffee

✏️ Coffee Mascarpone

500g Mascarpone
2 Tablespoon Granulated Coffee
3-4 Teaspoons Hot Water
6 Tablespoons Icing Sugar
Dark Chocolate

✏️ Method

1 - Preheat the oven to 180°C fan bake and grease the sides and line the bases of 2 x 20cm round springform cake tins with greaseproof paper. Set aside.

2 - Place the cake ingredients into a mixing bowl and beat on a low speed for 1 minute. Scrape down the sides and beat for another couple of minutes until smooth.

3 - Using kitchen scales, evenly measure cake mixture across the 2 prepared baking tins and bake for around 35-40 minutes, or until an inserted skewer comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before filling.

4 - To make the coffee mascarpone filling, start by dissolving the granulated coffee with the hot water in a small bowl or ramekin, then set aside to cool. Meanwhile, beat together the mascarpone and icing sugar until smooth. Add the cooled coffee mixture and beat once again until incorporated.

5 - To assemble, place the first layer of cake onto a serving dish or cake stand, then evenly cover with a layer of coffee mascarpone. Gently place the second cake layer on top, then cover with another generous layer of coffee mascarpone. To finish, grate chocolate over top and serve alongside a freshly made iced coffee, or at your next BBQ celebration.

Now, do you want to know anything else?
The Easter season is nearly upon us, which means H The Easter season is nearly upon us, which means Hot Cross Bun are ready to be enjoyed. With that said, @newworldnz always has a plentiful selection of Easter treats, especially Hot Cross Buns. This year I’m offering a different twist on an Easter tradition, and introduce these Hot Cross Bun Kebabs.

These Hot Cross Bun Kebabs are super easy to make and are served with a sweet Whipped Cream Cheese to dip. You can also use any of your favourite or seasonal fruit to make these kebabs your own. I’ll share the method and recipe below so you can make these delicious kebabs at your place this Easter!

So, don’t forget to grab some Hot Cross Buns from your local New World, and check out their website for plenty more Easter inspired recipes.

💥 Hot Cross Bun Kebabs

✏️ Ingredients

1 Pack of Hot Cross Buns from New World
2 Nectarines
2 Bananas
Grapes (Note: You can use any of your favourite or seasonal fruit)
Lemon Juice

130g Cream Cheese
100ml Fresh Cream
50g Caster Sugar
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

✏️ You’ll Need

Wooden Kebab skewers 

✏️ Method

To make the Whipped Cream Cheese:

1. Add the cream cheese and caster sugar into a bowl, and using a hand-held mixer, beat for 2-3 minutes until combined and fluffy.
2. Pour in the cream and vanilla extract and again beat for 2-3 minutes until smooth and fluffy.
3. Scoop into a serving bowl, cover and chill in the fridge until serving.

To make the Hot Cross Bun Kebabs:

1. Cut the hot cross buns into cubes, roughly 8 pieces per bun. Place cubes on a baking tray and grill each side until lightly toasted, turning regularly. Once all cubes are toasted, set aside to cool.
2. Dice your favourite or seasonal fruit into cubes, similar sizes to the hot cross bun cubes. Then dip or roll your diced fruit through lemon juice to prevent any browning.
3. To assemble your kebabs, alternate between various diced ingredients, starting with a hot cross bun cube at the base. Repeat until skewer is full. Serve immediately alongside the Whipped Cream Cheese, or chill in the fridge until serving. Enjoy.
