Instructions
 

Base

  • Blitz 250 grams of wine biscuits in a food processor.
  • Melt all the wet ingredients together.
  • Combine the biscuit and wet mixture until every biscuit crumb has been covered in the chocolately mixture.
  • Tip into the lined dish and using a wet hand, press down to make an even surface.
  • Place in the fridge to set while you make the peppermint filling

Peppermint Icing

  • Mix together all of the ingredients.
  • Use small amounts of boiling water at a time to create a smooth thick mixture.
  • Use a palette knife to smoothly move the filling to the corners and create an even filling all over the base.
  • Place back in the fridge while you make the chocolate icing.

Chocolate Icing

  • Follow the same steps as you did for the peppermint filling.

Cutting the slice

  • Once the slice is set - use a hot knife to cut the slice.
    (run the knife under hot tap water and dry with a clean tea towel before slicing each slice
  • Cut how many slices as you like. I usually cut a 5x4 array.
  • Store in an air tight container in a cool place or in the fridge
