Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for a no-bake chocolate biscuit cake—perfect if you want something rich and chocolatey without using the oven.
Ingredients
- 200 g (about 7 oz) digestive biscuits or tea biscuits
- 100 g (about 1/2 cup) unsalted butter
- 100 g (about 1/2 cup) dark chocolate (or milk chocolate if you prefer)
- 1/4 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
- 2–3 tbsp cocoa powder
- 3–4 tbsp milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Optional: nuts, dried fruits, or chocolate chips
Instructions
1. Prepare the biscuits:
- Break the biscuits into small pieces (rough chunks, not crumbs) and set aside.
2. Make the chocolate mixture:
- In a heatproof bowl over simmering water (or in a microwave in short bursts), melt the butter and chocolate together.
- Add sugar, cocoa powder, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.
3. Combine biscuits and chocolate:
- Pour the broken biscuits into the chocolate mixture and stir until every piece is coated.
- If using nuts or dried fruits, fold them in now.
4. Shape the cake:
- Line a loaf pan or round cake pan with parchment paper.
- Pour the mixture into the pan and press it down firmly with a spatula.
- Smooth the top.
5. Chill:
- Refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours (or overnight) until firm.
6. Serve:
- Slice and enjoy! You can dust with cocoa powder or drizzle with melted chocolate for extra flair.
If you want, I can also give you a fancier version with a ganache topping and nuts that makes it look bakery-style.
Do you want me to do that?
