Coconut or Ginger Biscuit Base


Ingredients

  • 200g digestive biscuits (or ginger biscuits, depending on preference)
  • 100g shredded coconut (if choosing coconut flavor)
  • 100g unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)
  • 1 tsp ground ginger (if choosing ginger flavor)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the biscuits: Place the digestive or ginger biscuits into a food processor and pulse until finely crushed. If you don’t have a food processor, place the biscuits in a sealed plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin.
  2. Add flavor:
    • For coconut base: mix the crushed biscuits with shredded coconut.
    • For ginger base: add ground ginger to the crushed biscuits and mix well.
  3. Combine ingredients: Add the melted butter and brown sugar (if using) to the biscuit mixture. Stir until all crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture holds together when pressed.
  4. Press into base: Transfer the mixture into a lined or greased baking tin or pan. Press firmly and evenly to create a compact base.
  5. Chill: Place the biscuit base in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set before adding any toppings or fillings.
