Fifteens, as they are called in Northern Ireland, or Canadian roll, in Scotland, is a fridge cake packed full of glace cherries and marshmallows rolled in coconut. Sweet and rich, with my take making it even richer. All butter shortbread, white chocolate and tart dried cherries come together to make a more complex and decadent fridge cake.

1. Crush the shortbread to a lumpy mixture. Slice the cherries in half. Roughly chop the white chocolate.
