Luci Hirsch’s Mum’s On The Run recipe book is packed full of delicious, easy to whip up recipes.
Why not try out this no-bake fridge cake?
It’s very economical, and the recipe uses ingredients that you normally have on hand in the cupboard and fridge.
“Marie biscuit fridge cake is a lifesaver when you have to make something on the run, but during lockdown it can be easily made with the children on hand to put it together.
“It’s also perfect for bake sales, baker’s day and children’s parties or just to have on hand for when hubby is poking around the pantry, looking for something to satisfy his sweet tooth,” said Chantelle du Plessis, public relations officer for Hirsch’s Meadowdale.
