Fifteens



Fifteens, originally uploaded by ZMB.
ZMB's recipe seems to have disappeared. Never mind - here's one Beowulf made earlier.

'Fifteens appear to be a Northern Ireland thing, the rest of the world should be educated. To wit:

15 McVities Digestive Bisuits
15 Marshmallows
15 Red Glaze Cherries
1 small tin of sweetened condensed milk
1 good handful of desiccated coconut

1. Crush the biscuits into a large bowl, add mallow and cherries, mix.
2. Now pour the condensed milk into the mix, stir it up until it gets into a sticky lump.
3. Tip it all out onto a sheet of greaseproof paper and mould it into a log shape, roll the whole log thing in the coconut.
4. Wrap the beast up and refridgerate for a day, when it’s set you slice it up as you see fit (monster slices for the men, teeny-weeny arty slices for the women).
5. Eat.'

I too love fifteens - they're one of my favourite things in life.

Everyone I've given one to in Edinburgh has pestered me to make more. Maybe I should open an Irish tearoom....

Hope all is well at the Nellybert residence.

BUT by definition IT IS NOT A TRAYBAKE... simply a fridge cake!
