On 15s
Fifteens are a Northern Irish fridge-tray bake - apparantly unknown outside of Ulster. I came across them on a BBC evening tour of Irish food programme which is currently filling the space usually taken up by Michael Portillo and his trousers. I like the food tour programme but I miss Michael Portillo, who, if in office now would probably be the Labour Party's third greatest Prime Minister.
I'm practicing for the bake sale attached to the end of season rugby festival.
They are very very sweet.
Fifteens ingredients
Digestive biscuits
Marshmallows
Glace Cherries
Desicated Coconut
Almond
Condensed Milk
Milk Chocolate Chips
Very easy to make 15 each of digestives, marshmallows, cherries - whizz the biscuits in a food processsor. Chop up the marshmallows and cherries, mix in a bowl with the condensed milk, put most of the coconut on a sheet of cling film,dollop the biscuit mixture on to that, top with the rest of the coconut, roll up in to a sausage and put in the fridge overnight. Cut up in the 15 pieces (or smaller as they are very very sweet.)
I'm not actually eating them myself as I'm on a diet but the small taste test I did suggests they are dangerously moreish.
