TIPS
In the 'biscuits' section of the Leftovers Handbook, author Suzy Bowler writes:
Cheesecake base This is generally made with crushed digestives, but any not too exciting biscuit will work. Crush 125g broken or leftover biscuits to crumbs, sweeten according to the biscuit and mix with 90g melted butter. Press onto the base of your cheesecake container. This same mixture can also be layered up with mousse in pretty glasses.
Desserts Sprinkle broken biscuits over yoghurt and creamy desserts, ice cream in general and Affogato in particular.
Ice cream Stir into ice cream.
