Recipe: Fifteens (the easiest traybake in town)

Fifteens must be the easiest sweet treat to make. No baking, very little stirring and just some chilling.


INGREDIENTS 


15 large marshmallows (halved)


15 Digestive biscuits (crushed)


15 glace cherries (halved)


160 millilitres condensed milk


desiccated coconut (for rolling)

METHOD


1 Take a few Digestive biscuits and crush them in a food processor or in a plastic bag with something hard like a rolling pin, then put them in a large mixing bowl. Chop each marshmallow into 4 pieces and add to the bowl with the cherries and 175ml condensed milk. Mix until the ingredients are well combined and you have a sticky mixture. If it's too dry, add a splash more condensed milk.



2 Sprinkle most of the coconut over a large piece of cling film (or foil). Tip the mixture onto the coconut and shape into a long sausage, about 30 x 5cm. Sprinkle more coconut over the top of it and wrap the cling film tightly around, twisting the ends together. Leave in the fridge to chill for 4-6 hrs, then cut into 15 slices and serve. Will keep in the fridge for up to 1 week wrapped in cling film.
