Marie Biscuit Chocolate Logs Reciipe

I was first introduced to this recipe by Vaishali in 2007 when we were both working in the same team back in Google Hyderabad. Edible Garden was a new blog back then and she recommended this simple Marie biscuit dessert recipe that her mom used to make her

I loved the idea because I am have always been partial to desserts and puddings using Marie biscuits and tried the recipe that same weekend. Can’t believe this was almost 10 years ago!

I have made this simple dessert so many times and fine tuned the chocolate coating recipe to make it more stable and easy to do.

It may seem like a lot of butter but remember, you get around 10-12 “cookies” when you cut the stacked log so the total amount of butter gets divided into many smaller portions. Or, let’s just tell ourselves that and enjoy this treat, shall we? 🙂

Description

Marie biscuit chocolate logs is a simple no-bake dessert recipe made with stacked Marie biscuits coated in a chocolate coating that’s chilled and sliced. Kids love it!

Scale

Ingredients

  • 20 Marie biscuits
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 tsp instant coffee powder
  • 3/4 cup butter, softened to room temperature (see notes)
  • 1/4 cup icing sugar (or powdered sugar)
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2–3 drops of vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place the softened butter in a bowl and add the icing sugar and cocoa powder along with vanilla extract (if using)
  2. Mix thoroughly until you get a soft mixture like frosting
  3. Heat the milk and add the coffee powder
  4. Mix well to combine
  5. Take your first Marie biscuit and dip into the hot milk for 5 seconds
  6. Remove and place on a plate
  7. Take about 1 tsp of the chocolate frosting and smear over the Marie biscuit
  8. Take the second biscuit and repeat the same process until you have a long biscuit stack with chocolate frosting in between
  9. Smear the remaining chocolate frosting all over the biscuit tower generously
  10. Refrigerate this biscuit tower for approximately 2 hours or overnight
  11. Take it out and lay down on a cutting board
  12. Use a fork to create lines over the chocolate log to resemble the lines on a wooden log
  13. Cut slightly diagonally to get your log cookies, the biscuits would be soft by then
  14. Serve immediately or keep chilled until ready to serve

Notes

  • If the chocolate coating starts to melt once left outside, refrigerate again. To prevent this, make sure to use icing sugar rather than regular powdered sugar which has more moisture
  • You can try the same recipe with digestive biscuits too
  • The coffee powder in the milk is optional and it doesn’t really give a strong flavour to the final cookies. I just like to mix coffee and cocoa so I add it usually. The vanilla is optional too but recommended
  • The butter needs to be soft but not melted. Singapore is hot almost all the time and the day I made these, the butter kept melting on me. I had to add another 2 tbsp of icing sugar to stabilise it a bit so take note if you live in a warm place
  • You can add some chopped cashew nuts or almond flakes over the log if you’d like. Makes it fancier and tastier

Mix thoroughly until you get a soft thick mixture like frosting. If you find your chocolate mixture too runny, add more sugar.

Refrigerate this biscuit tower for approximately 2 hours or overnight. The coating will be a bit messy due to the soft butter mixture but don’t fret, it will be fine once it sets and you slice into them, nobody can tell it’s messy. Also, yes that’s the inside of my fridge you see below!

    I was searching for a really quick snack and came across this and went straight ahead and made it – all in under 1/2hr! I couldn't believe how easy it was!! The layers look awesome and so tempting… now am waiting for 2 hrs to quick pass by! I am hoping my 3yr old will love this and I can get brownie points for that 😀 Thanks so much 🙂

    Thanks! 🙂
    It was a bit too sweet for my taste, but well, anything chocolatey goes! 😉
    Well, i used a bit more of the cocoa powder than you did…I'm a chocolate freak 😀 It could also be the difference in brands. I used something called Eagle, though I wanted Cadbury's or Nestle. Wasnt available at that time.

    Hey Nags,
    I made this today, and it turned out real yumm. Here's a pic: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=6950029&l=97018b502b&id=694946815
    I did the fork-carving too; but by the time I got a nice pic, the carvings faded off 😀

    But I ended up having a lot of left over cocoa-butter-sugar mix and coffee!! 🙁 So well, I put them all together, added some fresh bread, some cashew-almond bits and ended up with this Coffee Choc Bread Yumthing: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=6949626&l=4f9266a868&id=694946815

    Now i must find takers for Marie Biscuit Chocolate Logs and Coffee Choc Bread Yumthing 😀

    But i didnt get the 'lay the mixture on all four sides evenly' bit.

    Is Nesquik chocolate powder unsweetened? Then you can. Otherwise, regulate the amount of sugar you add. The taste will certainly be different (but still nice I'd guess) if you use sweetened cocoa powder as opposed to unsweetened 🙂

    Hello Nags – I actually made the chocolate logs with digestive biscuits yesterday..infact i improvised the recipe a little by using whatever ingredients that were available at my kitchen at that moment..instead of chocolate powder i used cooking chocolate…with milk i combined thick cream as well. For the zest..i added a lil vanilla essense while making the chocolate sauce.

    It turned out pretty well..though when i tried cutting into slices it crumbled abit….maybe coz digestive biscuits are a bit tender than marie biscuits..

    anyway check out the output:

    you can also use honey instead of powdered sugar and mix equal portions of coco powder-butter-honey for stronger chokolate taste. can also ad grinded wall-nut for the extra taste. Hare Krishna!

    Hello anon,

    Just stack up 10-12 marie one on top of the other and coat it with the chocolate layer. Then, simply cut it with a sharp knife after chilling. You will be amazed at how pretty the dessert is that you just created 🙂

    Let me know if you make it!

    The picture of the chocolate logs looks like as though there is lot of work involved in it. But I’m so surprised at the simplicity of this recipe. Just awesome Nags. I’ll surely try it.

    Nags!!You won’t believe it! My mom used to make this for us quite often and needless to say, we loved it :-)…she used the marie biscuits or the thin arrowroot ones….we could hardly wait for it to chill.
