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

Ingredients

  • 10.5 ounces tea biscuits see note 4
  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk canned
  • 5 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder see note 5

Instructions

  • 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. 

Notes

  1. You can also line a baking pan with parchment paper and let it set in there, then cut into bars or cake slices. 
  2. 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. 
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
