The typical digestive biscuit contains coarse brown wheat flour (which gives it its distinctive texture and flavour), sugar, malt extract, vegetable oil, wholemeal, raising agents (usually sodium bicarbonate, tartaric acid and malic acid), and salt. [20] Some varieties also contain dried whey, oatmeal, cultured skimmed milk, and emulsifiers such as DATEM.In a stand mixer (or by hand) mix together the cream cheese, icing sugar and vanilla extract until smooth.

Just a couple of tablespoons does give the caramel an extra depth of flavour (that’s hard to describe!), but you can easily replace it with another kind of syrup (corn, maple, honey, date). Or just skip it altogether! In 1839, digestives were developed in the United Kingdom by two Scottish doctors to aid digestion. [5] [9] In an 1851 issue of The Lancet, London's advertising section offered brown meal digestive biscuits. [10] At the time, it was asserted that grain millers knew only of bran and endosperm. [11] After 10% of the whole grain's coarser outer-bran coat was removed, and because the innermost 70% of pure endosperm was reserved for other uses, brown meal, representing only 20% of the whole grain, remained, consisting of about 15% fine bran and 85% white flour. [12] By 1912, it was more widely known that brown meal included the germ, which lent a characteristic sweetness. [13]

The ‘British masterpiece’ was developed much later than its original plain digestive form with McVitie’s creating the ‘Chocolate Homewheat Digestive’ in 1925. A digestive biscuit, sometimes described as a sweet-meal biscuit, is a semi- sweet biscuit that originated in Scotland. The digestive was first developed in 1839 by two Scottish doctors to aid digestion. The term digestive is derived from the belief that they had antacid properties around the time the biscuit was first introduced due to the use of sodium bicarbonate as an ingredient. [1] Historically, some producers used diastatic malt extract to "digest" some of the starch that existed in flour prior to baking.

Chocolate: I like to use a good quality dark chocolate for my caramel slice topping. You know, to balance out the intense sweetness just a tad.
