Ingredients

for the cornflake crunch:

  • 85 g cornflakes, lightly crushed
  • 20 g milk powder
  • 20 g caster suagr
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 65 g salted butter, melted

for the cornflake cake:

  • 520 g cornflakes lightly crushed
  • 195 g butter, melted
  • 150 g dark chocolate, melted
  • 90 g golden syrup

for the chocolate layer:

  • 200 g semi-sweet chocolate, melted

Instructions

for the cornflake crunch:

  • Preheat the oven to 140C & line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
  • Combine all of the ingredients together in a medium bowl, ensuring everything is evenly coated. Spread the conflake mixture on the prepared baking sheet & bake for 20-minutes, until lightly golden and buttery. Set aside & leave to cool completely before use.
  • Once cooled, set aside 1/3 cup for the topping.

for the cornflake cake:

  • Line a 9×9-inch brownie tin with parchment paper, leaving the edges hanging over the sides; set aside. Place the lightly crushed cornflakes in a large bowl; set aside.
  • In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the butter, chocolate, and golden syrup. Pour over the cornflakes and stir together until everything is evenly coated.
  • Transfer the cornflake mixture to the prepared brownie tin & use an offset spatula to squish it firmly down and into the corners – we want it to be sturdy.
  • Evenly spread the cornflake crunch mixture over the top of the cornflake layer, lightly pressing down so it adheres to the chocolate.
  • Next, the chocolate layer. Pour the melted chocolate over the top of the cake & use an offset spatula to spread it evenly around, trying not to disturb the cornflake crunch layer beneath.
  • Sprinkle the reserved cornflake crunch across the top of the chocolate layer.
  • Place in the fridge for at least two hours before lifting out of the brownie tin & slicing into 16 squares. Transfer the squares to the freezer & eat from frozen.
