Lazy Cake (No-Bake Chocolate Biscuit Cake)
This lazy cake is a no-bake chocolate biscuit cake with only 3-ingredients: condensed milk, cocoa powder, and tea biscuits.
Servings: 15 slices
- 10.5 ounces tea biscuits see note 4
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk canned
- 5 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder see note 5
Crumble the biscuits into large pieces with your hands. Set aside.
In a bowl, combine the condensed milk with the cocoa powder.
Fold in the crumbled tea biscuits until all of them are evenly coated.
Spread a large piece of plastic wrap on your work station and spoon the mixture into a log in the middle of it.
Wrap the plastic wrap around the mixture and shape into a tight log. Then wrap with foil and place in the fridge overnight or the freezer for no less than 3 hours to set.
Take it out right before serving to slice.
- You can also line a baking pan with parchment paper and let it set in there, then cut into bars or cake slices.
- Make sure you give it enough time to set or you'll end up with a runny mess. You'll know it's ready when the plastic wrap peels off easily.
- Storage: Store this no-bake lazy cake in the freezer for up to 2 months. When ready to serve, remove it from the freezer, slice it, and serve.
- Tea Biscuits: You don't specifically have to use Marie biscuits; any tea biscuits will do. If you can't find tea biscuits anywhere, you can also use digestive biscuits, resulting in a slightly denser but equally delicious lazy cake. Another substitution is vanilla wafers.
- Natural Cocoa Powder: Use raw, unsweetened cocoa powder. Since you're already using sweetened condensed milk, the unsweetened cocoa powder adds chocolate richness. Don't worry; it won't taste like dark chocolate at all.
