otap: a cookie delicacy from cebu. made from sweet pasry, flattened thinly, rolled, cut lengthwise and baked very crisp. sometimes called as tsinelas, or slippers, as it resembles the shape of a slipper - very similar to the woven slipper espadrilles.it is very common that i get these cookies from the south. so common that i usually fake my enthusiasm in getting them.
i recently got one threw it at the farthest back side of our ref. several days have passed and forgotten all about it. i then got a craving for some dessert and went checking the ref. i found my savior!!!! hidden behind all the stuff is the gleaming bag of otap!
still looking around, i got cream and milk. ok, this is enough to get me going.
otap cream bar24 pieces otap (1 bag is ok)
1 cup all purpose cream
1 cup condensed milk
vanilla
choco chips for toppings
mix together the all purpose cream and the condensed milk. add vanilla to taste. in a deep dish, evenly arrange the otap biscuits in layers. it should be about 2 inches thick or 2 to 3 layers of otap. this will hold the structure of the bar.
add the cream mixture on the otap just enough to cover the layers. top with generous chocolate chips and refrigerate overnight.
the dry otap cookies will gently absorb the cream mixture and will form into a nicely textured subtle bar.

YOM! this is what the aussies call slices and brits call refrigerator cakes--you take cookies or biscuits, mix them with other ingredients and then slice them up. if you ever get the urge to "bake" look up a refrigerator cake recipe, you can get very creative without an oven!
good day, mate! yeah... i'll look around for other refrigerator cake recipes. yup. we don't have an oven. ref cakes would be good for us!
