What Is Chocolate Tiffin

Tiffin is a British dessert which is a chocolate cake made with biscuits, raisins, golden syrup, cocoa powder, melted chocolate; and sometimes additional ingredients like nuts or cherries. They call it Tiffin because it was often eaten during “tiffin” time, a term in colonial India for a light midday meal or afternoon snack.

Chocolate Tiffin is traditionally served with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or coffee, or during old British tea time as a luxury dessert.

Chocolate Tiffin Ingredients

• 150g butter, cubed, plus extra for the tin
• 3 tbsp caster sugar
• 3 tbsp golden syrup
• 6 tsp cocoa powder
• 225g biscuits, crushed
• Handful of raisins
• 110g milk chocolate
• 110g dark chocolate

How To Make Chocolate Tiffin 

1. Preparation: First, grease a 15-20cm tin and line it with baking paper.
2. Mixing: In a big pot, melt together the butter, sugar, syrup, and cocoa. After they’re melted, add the crushed biscuits and raisins.
3. Layering: Spread this mix in your tin. For the chocolate topping, put the milk and dark chocolate in a bowl. Microwave the chocolate for 20 seconds, then stir. Repeat this microwaving and stirring until the chocolate is smooth and melted. Pour this over your biscuit mix.
4. Cooling & Slicing: Chill the tin in the fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight. Once firm, use a knife to cut it into squares.

What To Serve With Chocolate Tiffin

Serve this Chocolate Tiffin as a dessert with vanilla ice cream, fresh berries, or a drizzle of caramel sauce; I really enjoy it with a cup of hot cappuccino, a splash of whipped cream, or a side of clotted cream.

Can You Freeze Chocolate Tiffin

Tiffin Recipe Variations

• Vegan Tiffin: To make Tiffin vegan-friendly, simply replace the butter with a vegan alternative (like coconut oil or vegan butter) and use dairy-free chocolate. Ensure your biscuits are vegan too.
• Gluten-Free Tiffin: For a gluten-free version, swap the regular biscuits with gluten-free biscuits. Ensure all other ingredients, like chocolate and golden syrup, are gluten-free certified.
• Keto Tiffin: For a keto-friendly Tiffin, replace the biscuits with keto-friendly almond flour cookies or crushed nuts. Use a sugar substitute like stevia or erythritol for the caster sugar and opt for a high-percentage dark chocolate with low sugar content.
• Tiffin With Condensed Milk: If you want to make this Tiffin recipe with condensed milk, simply use about 3 tablespoons of condensed milk in place of the 3 tablespoons of golden syrup. This will give the Tiffin a creamier texture and a sweeter taste.
