About Biscuit Cake Recipe

No bake biscuit cake is a rich, chocolatey dessert made by using digestive biscuits, milk, cocoa powder, butter, sugar and cornflour. It is an eggless cake recipe and doesn’t require any oven. The best part is that the ingredients can be put together in less than 15 minutes and results in an amazing taste. 

The cake base is made by dipping the digestive biscuits in milk and setting it aside. A chocolate spread is prepared by mixing cornflour, sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla essence and milk in a sauce pan.

Cook them until it thickens and let it cool completely. Spread the chocolate mixture on each biscuit and stalk like a tower. Let it sit in the refrigerator. Once it is set, it looks and tastes like a real cake. 

Over the years, I’ve tried many no bake biscuit recipes like no bake biscuit log, chocolate coconut biscuit roll, no bake biscuit pudding, chocolate biscuit ball, biscuit bar and hands down this is one of the simplest and easiest recipes.

What I love about this no bake biscuit cake recipe is that it is one of the fun and easy recipes to make with kids. They love doing this recipe by dunking the biscuits in milk and stalking them like a biscuit tower.

Decorate it with kids’ favourite toppings like sprinkle, chocolate chips, chopped strawberry, chocolate sauce or with nuts. 

Ingredients

Biscuit : This is the star ingredient and forms the base of the cake. Any neutral or mild sweetened biscuits work for this recipe like marie biscuit, britannia nutri choice or graham crackers. 

Sugar : Sugar is added for the sweetness. Adjust the sugar quantity based on the sweetness of the biscuit. 

Cocoa powder : Cocoa powder gives a rich chocolate flavour to this simple dish. Use good quality unsweetened cocoa powder for best taste and flavour. 

Cornstarch : Cornstarch or cornflour is added to thicken the chocolate spread and result in a smooth texture.

Milk : Milk is used to mix the ingredients and creates a smooth creamy spread. You can use full fat milk or dairy free milk options like oat milk, almond milk. 

Vanilla essence : A ½ teaspoon of vanilla essence added to balance the richness of chocolate flavour. Make sure to use good quality vanilla essence for the best aroma. You can also try with other flavouring essence like almond extract, orange extract or coconut extract. 

Icing : Dark chocolate and unsalted butter are melted to form a glossy, smooth and rich chocolate icing. Pour this over the biscuit tower and refrigerate for 30 minutes. 

Personal Tips

Add on : Mix some chopped nuts in between biscuits like cashewnut, almond, pistachio, or walnut for extra crunch. 

Dairy free : Want to make a dairy free icing for the cake, then swap butter with coconut oil and use any dairy free chocolate. And also use dairy free milk like oat milk, almond milk for dipping. 

Topping : Try adding toppings like dessicated coconut, sprinkles and chocolate chips while serving.
