There is a type of cake in the UK known often as refridgerator cake, no-bake chocolate cake, or tiffin. It consists of broken up biscuits (cookies) in a sort of chocolate fudge

I think I've seen it as "Icebox cake".

not quite the same thing - but thanks!

I've not had anything quite like it.

Is this a similar recipe?

Googling tiffin recipe brings me several results with non-metric measurements. Only the first is strictly in grams.

Thanks - that'll do nicely.

I goggled "tiffin recipes" and got a different set of results. How odd.

there is no central google dbase, they all have different data :) nice to finally know what this famous tiffin is tho, i always thought it was just a nonsense word :D !!!

I had a look at wiwkipedia to better understand the dual meanings of "tiffin" - an Indian word for snack or packed lunch, or a UK cake - but sadly it doesn't explain why the same word should have come to be used for both!

Rocky Road is kind of similar to refridgerator cake.
