Sinful yet heavenly

This is the simplest way I could describe our dessert today. This easy cake is not an oven baked but a refrigerated one. Well, you will have your delectable cake ready in less than an hour. To cut-off the intro let us start this luscious triple treat.

Ingredients:

• 500 grams (20 sachets) Graham Crackers (chocolate/honey flavoured)
• 2 Eggs
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 1 can Condensed milk
• 1 cup Nestle Full Cream
• 3 Tablespoon Butter
• 2 sachets 3-in-1 (instant) coffee
• 2 cups small (or cut in to small pieces) Marshmallows
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips
• 1 cup Mixed fruits
• 1 cup Sliced Almonds (you can alternate it with peanuts or cashew)

Procedure:

1. Put 1/2 can of condensed milk and 1 cup cream in the graham crackers to easily crush it. Set aside.
2. In a low heat melt the butter in a pan. Once melted add in the beaten eggs, sugar and coffee. Continue stirring with hand beater or fork to avoid getting burnt and for the eggs not to cluster. Do this for 7 minutes or until the mixture slightly thickens.
3. Pour in the coffee mixture to the crushed graham crackers.
4. Add in the marshmallows, 1/2 cup sliced almond, 1/2 cup mixed fruits and the remaining condensed milk.

6. Pour the mixture in a container and flatten it. Sprinkle the remaining almond, mixed fruits and chocolate chips on top. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (For best result refrigerate it overnight).
