Ah yes 😋 — the no-bake biscuit cake is a classic, easy dessert that’s layered, creamy, and just sweet enough without ever touching the oven. Perfect for when you want a dessert that feels fancy but is ridiculously simple.
No-Bake Biscuit Cake
Ingredients
- 200 g (about 7 oz) plain tea biscuits or digestive biscuits
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 100 g (3.5 oz) butter, softened
- 2–3 tbsp cocoa powder (for chocolate version)
- Optional: chocolate shavings, nuts, or cocoa powder for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the cream
- In a bowl, mix softened butter with sweetened condensed milk until smooth.
- For chocolate version: add cocoa powder and mix until fully incorporated.
- Layer the cake
- In a rectangular or square dish, place a layer of biscuits.
- Spread a thin layer of the cream on top.
- Repeat layers (biscuits + cream) until all ingredients are used, ending with cream.
- Chill
- Cover and refrigerate at least 3–4 hours, preferably overnight.
- This softens the biscuits and melds the flavors.
- Serve
- Slice into squares or rectangles.
- Optionally dust with cocoa powder, grated chocolate, or nuts before serving.
Tips & Variations
- 🍫 Chocolate lovers: dip biscuits in coffee or milk before layering for extra richness.
- 🍓 Fruit version: add sliced bananas or berries between layers.
- 🥛 Creamier: fold in whipped cream with the condensed milk & butter for a lighter texture.
This dessert is creamy, slightly crunchy from the biscuits, and melts in your mouth — basically the easiest layered cake you can make.
If you want, I can give a 5-minute microwave shortcut version that’s even faster and still tastes amazing.
