How to make no bake chocolate biscuit cake

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.

      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.

    My Mother was brought up on a farm. We used to have tea, with biscuits from a tin, for breakfast. Mum would take all the, different, broken biscuits and make this cake; she would put a thin vanilla icing on top. Mum passed away in the late sixties and yet I am going to make it for the first time since then – it is yummy!

      Hi Aaron. You can. I haven’t tested it with so not sure if there is more/less butter needed when melting the chocolate. You will have to try yourself and adjust the ratios, if needed. Let me know when you do.

      Yes, you can but bear in mind that you will need to add more chocolate.

    This was really delicious – I followed the recipe, except I used salted butter (which I personally prefer). A tip – use clingfilm rather than greaseproof paper – one piece to line the length of the tin, then another to run width ways. with enough extra in each case to be able to fold over the pressed-down cake. It’s way easier to manage.

    Great recipe, thank you.5 stars

    I have made this many times and my whole family LOVES it. My 7 year old grandson said that I needed to add caramel to it and that would make it even better. So we made homemade caramel sauce and poured a layer in the middle. Well, if you love this original recipe and you love caramel, I don’t know what to say, but be prepared. I have had to make this recipe for the past two birthday’s, it’s crazy good. Thank you for this wonderful recipe. I am going to try making it with peanuts and caramel next.5 stars

        Just an update…It is my grandson’s 10th birthday and he has, once again, requested this for his “cake”. I think it’s so funny. He calls it “our” Twix cake. Thank you again, Julia!5 stars

      I have not tried it but I would say it could work. You would just need a lot of chocolate. Please do let us know if you give it a try.

    Can we substitute condensed milk with skim milk instead if we do not want the cake to be too sweet?5 stars

      Hi Lils. I don’t recommend using skim milk. You could increase the quantity of dark chocolate if you don’t want to use condensed milk at all and add some honey (or not). I haven’t tested it though so I have no idea how much. Hope this helps.
