A FEW THINGS YOU’LL WANT TO KNOW
Can I use a different biscuit?
Absolutely. I use Arnott’s Yo-Yo biscuits for their sweet vanilla flavour and crumbly texture, but any plain vanilla biscuit will do. Just avoid anything too hard or filled—keep it simple.
Do I really need to line the tin with plastic wrap?
Yes, highly recommend it. Once the log is frozen, it’s really hard to get out without that lining—especially if you’re using metal tins. Lining all four sides makes it much easier to lift out neatly.
What if I don’t have mini loaf tins?
No worries! Just use a regular loaf tin. You might end up with one large log instead of a few small ones—just make sure you press the mixture down firmly so it holds together once set.
Mine fell apart a little when slicing—what went wrong?
It likely wasn’t pressed down firmly enough. This part really matters—pressing the mixture in tight gives you that perfect slice and helps the whole thing set properly.
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes, you can! Once it’s made, pop it into the freezer as is—don’t slice it yet. When you’re ready, take it out and let it sit for a few minutes to soften slightly (don’t let it defrost fully). That way, it’ll be easy to slice cleanly. I usually cut the whole thing at that point, then pop the pieces back into the freezer. Makes it super convenient to grab as you go.
