### **Instructions:**
1. **Prepare the Base:**
– Start by crushing the biscuits (graham crackers or plain biscuits) into fine crumbs. You can do this by placing them in a plastic bag and rolling over them with a rolling pin, or using a food processor.
– Pour the 200ml of milk into a bowl, and gradually add the biscuit crumbs. Mix them until all the crumbs are well moistened, forming a soft, dough-like consistency.
2. **Form the Cake Base:**
– Lightly grease or line the bottom of a cake pan or springform pan (around 8-9 inches).
– Press the biscuit mixture evenly into the base of the pan to form a firm, compact crust. Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to press it down tightly. Place the pan in the fridge to set for about 30 minutes (or you can pop it in the freezer for 10 minutes if you’re short on time).
3. **Prepare the Fruits:**
– While the crust is chilling, slice the bananas and kiwi. If you’re using berries like strawberries, slice them into smaller pieces.
– To keep the bananas from browning, lightly toss them in a bit of lemon juice.
4. **Assemble the Cake:**
– After the biscuit crust has set, remove the pan from the fridge.
– Arrange the sliced bananas, kiwi, and mixed berries over the crust, layering them however you like to create a colorful pattern. You can go for a spiral design or just scatter the fruits randomly for a fun, vibrant look.
5. **Top with Whipped Cream (Optional):**
– If you’re using whipped cream, spread a layer of it on top of the fruits for extra creaminess. You can lightly sweeten the whipped cream with 1-2 tbsp of sugar to add a little extra sweetness to balance the fruit.
6. **Chill and Set:**
– Place the assembled cake back in the fridge for at least 2 hours to chill and set completely. If you want the cake to be extra firm, let it chill overnight.
7. **Serve:**
– Once chilled and set, remove the cake from the pan and transfer it to a serving plate. Slice and serve immediately. It’s perfect for any celebration or as a refreshing, light dessert.
