Ingredients You’ll Need

300g Jammie Dodgers: These classic British biscuits provide the perfect crunchy base for our dessert. If you can’t find them, any similar biscuit will work as a substitute.
90g unsalted butter: This is melted and mixed in with the biscuit crumbs to bind them together. Use high-quality butter for the best flavor.
90g condensed milk: Adds a luscious creaminess to the base and helps to hold it together. Sweetened condensed milk is essential for this recipe.
300g white chocolate: Provides the creamy top layer. Feel free to use your favorite white chocolate brand.
45g raspberry jam: This is swirled in for a pop of flavor and color. Use homemade or store-bought jam, depending on your preference.
9 mini Jammie Dodgers: These are for decoration and add a fun touch to the completed dish. You can either leave them whole for presentation or crush them for added texture.

How to Make Jammie Dodger Tray Bake

Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8-inch (20cm) square tin with baking paper. This will make it easy to lift out your dessert later.
Crush the Biscuits: Place the 300g of Jammie Dodger biscuits in a food processor and blitz until you have fine crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, you can use a rolling pin and a zip-top bag.
Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the biscuit crumbs with the 90g of melted unsalted butter and 90g of condensed milk. Stir until it resembles a wet dough.
Press into the Pan: Firmly press the mixture into the bottom of your prepared tin. Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to ensure it’s evenly spread. Set aside to firm up a bit.
Melt the Chocolate: In a heatproof bowl, combine the 300g of white chocolate and the remaining 90g of condensed milk. Melt them together in the microwave, stirring every 15–30 seconds until smooth and glossy.
Assemble the Topping: Working quickly, pour the melted chocolate mixture over the biscuit base and spread it evenly. Add dollops of raspberry jam and swirl it in with a spoon for a beautiful effect.
Decorate: Top with 9 mini Jammie Dodgers, arranging them either whole or crushed, as you prefer.
Refrigerate: Chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or until the topping is firm to the touch. Once set, lift out of the tin, cut into squares, and serve.

Storing & Reheating

Store leftover Jammie Dodger Tray Bake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a day. If you refrigerate it, it can last up to a week; just ensure it’s tightly sealed to preserve freshness. For longer storage, you can freeze individual slices for up to 3 months. Simply wrap them well in plastic wrap and then place in a freezer bag. Thaw in the fridge overnight, and if needed, microwave for about 10-15 seconds to refresh the texture.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Avoid Overmixing: When combining the biscuit base, mix just until incorporated to avoid a dense texture.
Butter Temperature: Make sure your butter is melted but not too hot; this helps in blending without cooking the other ingredients.
Chilling Time: If you’re in a hurry, try freezing for 30-60 minutes instead of refrigerating.
Swirling Jam: Be gentle when swirling the raspberry jam to avoid mixing it completely into the chocolate.
Experiment with Flavors: You can swap out the raspberry jam for strawberry or even apricot for a new twist!

A dessert like Jammie Dodger Tray Bake celebrates the beauty of simple ingredients coming together to create something truly special. It’s creamy, crunchy, and downright delicious. I encourage you to make some variations or even add your personalized touch with nuts or different jams!

Recipe FAQs

Can I make this dessert gluten-free?

Absolutely! Simply replace the Jammie Dodgers with gluten-free biscuits to enjoy this delightful treat without sacrificing flavor.

How long do I need to chill the tray bake?

You should chill it for at least 3 hours. This allows the topping to set perfectly, ensuring a clean slice when you cut it.

Can I use a different type of chocolate?

Certainly! While this recipe is best with white chocolate, you can experiment with milk or dark chocolate for a different flavor profile.

What can I do if the mixture is too crumbly?

If your biscuit and butter mixture feels too crumbly, consider adding a splash more of condensed milk or a bit more melted butter to help bind it together.
