A Night of Pure Indulgence with Cadbury®

In an evening of pure indulgence, Remix collaborated with Cadbury® for a widely anticipated debut of the new frozen dessert range, Cadbury® tubs. Hosted by award-winning journalist Wilhelmina Shrimpton, three decadent frozen dessert flavours were introduced to some of the nation’s most revered food lovers; velvety Caramello®, rich Caramilk®, and of course, the classic smooth Dairy Milk® Vanilla. Whether you’re a creamy chocolate or gooey caramel lover, the Cadbury® 460mL tub satisfies all those sweet craving moments. Each contains a surprisingly decadent soft core, with ties to each of the three iconic flavours with every scoop. These make for the perfect accompaniment for movie night at home or simply for a moment of me-time. Amelia Ferrier from Instagram’s @Melies_Kitchen created three delectable dishes, these recipes are now readily available for DIY dessert nights at home with the recipes below.

MOIST STICKY DATE CAKE WITH CADBURY® CARAMILK® SAUCE TOPPED WITH CARAMILK® FROZEN DESSERT

SERVES: 12

Sticky Date Cake:

150g dried pitted dates, finely chopped

⅔ cup boiling water

½ tsp baking soda

100g butter, melted

½ cup soft brown sugar, firmly packed

2 large free-range eggs

½ tsp vanilla extract or paste

¾ cup + 2 tbsp self-raising flour

¼ tsp table salt

75g Cadbury® Caramilk® chocolate, roughly chopped

Caramilk® Sauce:

¾ cup soft brown sugar, firmly packed

¾ cup cream

¼ cup golden syrup

75g butter, diced

¼ tsp table salt

75g Cadbury® Caramilk® chocolate, roughly chopped

To Serve:

Cadbury® Caramilk® frozen dessert 460ml

¼ cup crushed speculoos biscuits

Preheat the oven to 170°C. Grease and line the base and sides of a 20cm square cake tin.

Cake: Finely chop dates and add to a heat-proof bowl. Cover dates with boiling water measure, and set aside to soak for 10 minutes. After they have soaked for 10 minutes, stir through baking soda.

Whisk melted butter and brown sugar together in a large bowl. Add eggs and vanilla and whisk again, until combined. Add self-rising flour, salt and dates and the soaking liquid to the bowl. Whisk everything together, until just combined and no dry streaks of flour remain (it will be quite a runny batter). Fold through the chopped Caramilk®. Pour batter into the prepared cake tin. Bake on the lower-middle oven rack for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown and a skewer inserted comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs. Set aside in the tin to cool, before turning out of the tin to cool completely.

Sauce: Combine brown sugar, cream, golden syrup, butter and salt together in a medium pot. Place pot on medium-high heat and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring often, until butter has melted and combined. Bring to the boil and bubble away for a further 2-3 minutes, stirring often, until glossy and thickened slightly. Remove from heat and set to cool for 5 minutes. Add the Cadbury® Caramilk® and whisk together until smooth and melted.

Assembly: Serve a piece of sticky date cake topped with a scoop of Cadbury® Caramilk® frozen dessert, Caramilk® sauce & a sprinkle of speculoos crumb.
