Ingredients

• 250g dry biscuits (Digestive type)

6. Pour the mixture over the now solidified biscuit base and level it with a spatula.
7. Place the cake in the fridge and let it cool for at least 4 hours, or until it is well set.
8. Before serving, decorate the cake with fresh fruit or a fruit coulis of your choice.
