No-Bake Chocolate Biscuit Cake

No-Bake Chocolate Biscuit Cake is a rich and indulgent dessert made with crunchy biscuits coated in a luscious chocolate mixture, then chilled until firm. It’s an easy, no-bake treat perfect for tea time or special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 14 oz (400g) plain tea biscuits or digestive biscuits
  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (50g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 oz (225g) semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Break biscuits into small bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add sugar, cocoa powder, and water. Stir until sugar dissolves and mixture is smooth.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the chocolate mixture over the biscuit pieces. Stir gently until all biscuits are coated.
  5. Transfer mixture into a greased or parchment-lined 9-inch springform pan. Press down firmly to compact.
  6. In a separate saucepan, heat heavy cream until just simmering. Remove from heat and pour over chopped chocolate. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.
  7. Spread the chocolate ganache evenly over the biscuit cake.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
  9. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add chopped nuts or dried fruit to the biscuit mixture.
  • Use good-quality cocoa powder and chocolate for the best taste.
  • This cake can be made a day in advance and stored in the fridge.
  • Garnish with shaved chocolate or fresh berries before serving for a pretty presentation.
