Our coffee slice fridge cake is a cappuccino lover’s dream! The flavours of coffee, chocolate, and vanilla are married together in a rich and creamy no-bake cake bar. This coffee slice is a twist on a tiramisu, taking the same flavour combinations but transforming them into a fridge cake that can be prepared in advance and frozen, so it’s ready to enjoy whenever you have guests round for dinner or just want to treat yourself to an evening pick me up. Our coffee slice fridge cake requires little skill, just some mixing and layering before popping it in the fridge. You can leave it to chill overnight or while you get on with your day, and when you return you’ll have a tasty treat with a little boozy kick ready to tuck in to.
