If you are wondering how to make a cake from biscuits, read on. It is a simple recipe so anyone can do it. In fact, if you are looking for kids-friendly baking project, then this one is it!
By the way, it’s also a flourless and eggless dessert as well!
No bake chocolate biscuit cake recipe breakdown:
Break the biscuits into small pieces. Now you can also use a rolling pin and zip-lock bag to do it but I’d say you will be faster just doing it by hand. Kids will definitely love helping you with this step. Don’t break the biscuits too much though. You don’t want to end up with crumbs.
The following step involves melting chocolate and butter. I always do it over a pan of simmering water but you can also use a microwave. Just make sure you don’t burn the chocolate. When the chocolate has melted, stir in condensed milk.
Pour chocolate mixture over the biscuit pieces and mix until you see that every single piece is covered with chocolate. All you have to do now is fill a loaf tin with this mixture, press down and pop it into the fridge overnight. The following day you can enjoy a few slices of this chocolate deliciousness.
Note: It does not really matter whether you start off with breaking the biscuits or melting the chocolate.
There is usually a lot of chocolate left in the bowl (after you’ve poured it over biscuits) so I simply use a spatula to scrape it and spread/pour this over the biscuit cake.
Store it in the fridge before serving (especially in summer).
This chocolate biscuit cake can be made ahead and stored in a freezer. You could slice it, wrap it individually and keep in a zip-lock bag. E very time you crave a slice you simply take it out from the freezer and wait a while until it is defrosted.

Tell the recipe in cups measurement please
I have added measurements in ounces. I did not add the measurements in cups as it is not very accurate when it comes to measuring biscuits, chocolates,etc. Hope it helps.
