Fridge Cake

Ingredients:
– 2 cups crushed digestive biscuits
– 1 cup mixed dried fruits (such as raisins, cranberries, apricots)
– 1 cup chopped nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, pecans)
– 1 cup mini marshmallows
– 1 cup chocolate chips
– 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup shredded coconut (optional, for topping)

Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed digestive biscuits, mixed dried fruits, chopped nuts, mini marshmallows, and chocolate chips. Mix well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.

2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until well combined.

3. Pour the sweetened condensed milk mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Use a spatula to gently fold everything together until all the ingredients are coated in the milk mixture.

4. Line a rectangular baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal later. Transfer the mixture into the dish and press it down firmly with the back of a spoon to ensure it is evenly spread out and compacted.

5. If desired, sprinkle shredded coconut over the top of the mixture for an extra touch of flavor and texture.

6. Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate the fridge cake for at least 2-3 hours, or until it is set and firm.

7. Once chilled and set, remove the fridge cake from the refrigerator and carefully lift it out of the dish using the parchment paper.

8. Cut the cake into squares or bars using a sharp knife. Serve and enjoy this delightful no-bake dessert with your family and friends!
