The Recipe:
Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 0 minutes (plus chilling time) Total Time: 15 minutes (plus chilling time) Yield: 8-10 servings Category: Desserts, No-Bake Treats Method: No-Bake Cuisine: International Diet: Vegetarian, Nut-Free (adapt with nut-free cookies)
Ingredients:
- 400 grams Maria or Digestive biscuits
- 500 ml milk (whole or almond milk work wonderfully)
- 200 grams sugar (adjust to your sweetness preference)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 200 grams softened butter
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder (optional for a chocolate twist)
- Decor of your dreams: chocolate chips, nuts, fresh fruit, or anything your heart desires!
Instructions:
- Brew up the Magic: In a large bowl, mix milk, sugar, and vanilla extract until the sugar dissolves. Add the softened butter and whisk until smooth and creamy. For a chocolatey adventure, sprinkle in cocoa powder and mix until fully incorporated.
- Build Your Cookie Kingdom: Grab a fridge-friendly dish or mold and start creating! Lay a layer of cookies at the bottom, covering the entire surface. Gently pour the milk-butter mixture over the cookies, ensuring they’re completely submerged. Repeat this layering magic, alternating cookies and mixture, until everything is used up. Finish with a final layer of delicious batter.
- Time for a Beauty Nap: Cover your cake with plastic wrap or a lid and let it snooze in the fridge for at least 4 hours (overnight is best). This allows the cookies to soften and meld into a heavenly texture.
- Unleash the Decorating Delight: Once chilled, remove the plastic and unleash your inner artist! Top your masterpiece with your favorite decorations – chocolate chips, chopped nuts, juicy fruits, or whatever sparks your joy.
- Dig In and Celebrate: Slice and serve this no-bake wonder, and watch smiles bloom as everyone dives into its creamy goodness. Enjoy your creation!
Tips and Tricks:
- Experiment with different biscuit types for unique flavors. Try graham crackers for a sweeter touch or chocolate wafers for a richer experience.
- Get creative with toppings! Drizzle melted chocolate, sprinkle edible flowers, or even add a dollop of whipped cream for extra decadence.
- Make it mini! Use individual ramekins or cupcake molds for adorable personal-sized cookie cakes.
- This recipe is a fantastic base for customization. Add spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for warmth, or play with different extracts like almond or orange for exciting flavor twists.
