Eggless no bake biscuit brownie – a simple dessert recipe with Marie biscuits and condensed milk with added chocolate and chopped nuts. The mixture is pressed into trays and left to set in the refrigerator to get these brownie squares without any baking.

I love biscuit based sweets and desserts. That must be one reason why I love Twix bars! I love biscuit puddings and make the Marie biscuit chocolate logs pretty often to satisfy my biscuit dessert cravings.

This biscuit brownie is yet another wonderful addition to my list of quick and easy dessert recipes with biscuits as a base. It’s eggless and no-bake which definitely adds to the charm.

I often get asked for quick and easy bars and desserts that can be made without an oven or in the microwave. Since I enjoy baking, I hardly ever go actively looking for such recipes but when my cousin posted this in her blog couple of weeks back, I knew I had to try it as soon as possible.

I got Marie Biscuits during my next trip to the supermarket and made it that same weekend.

This recipe is perfect for you if you are looking for:

  • A Marie biscuit dessert with condensed milk
  • A brownie recipe without an oven
  • An eggless brownie recipe with biscuits
  • Recipes for chocolate-lovers

I don’t think I need to give you more reasons, do I?

Instructions
  1. Break the biscuits into fours and powder coarsely
  2. Add the cocoa powder to this and mix well.
  3. Add the sugar to this mixture and mix again.
  4. Dry-roast any nut of choice and let it cool.
  5. Chop the nuts coarsely and add to the above and mix well.
  6. Add half a tin of condensed milk to this mixture.
  7. Mix well with a sturdy spoon.

  10. Cut into squares and serve.
  11. Store any remaining brownies in the refrigerator in an airtight container and consume within 3 days

Step by Step Instructions for Eggless No Bake Biscuit Brownie Recipe:

1. Break the biscuits into fours and powder coarsely. I left small bits of biscuits in this mixture to give the brownies some extra texture.

2. Add the cocoa powder to this and mix well.

3. Add the sugar next and mix again. If you prefer mildly sweet brownies, you can omit this step but I found the sweetness level perfect with 2 tsp sugar.

4. Dry-roast any nut of choice and let it cool. I had some roasted hazelnuts handy so used that. Roughly 1/4 cup should do.

5. Chop it up coarsely and add to the mixture. Mix well.

6. Add half a tin of condensed milk to this mixture. Feel free to lick up the remaining condensed milk sticking to the tin!

7. Mix well with a sturdy spoon. I would advice against using a whisk at this stage because the mixture will be very thick and would refuse to cooperate with a weak whisk or spatula. Use a steel or wooden spoon or ladle. Show it who is boss! Mix well until all the powdery bits are combined with the wet ingredients.

8. Line a plate, pie dish, or baking tray with butter paper (or just grease with some butter) and transfer the mixture to it. Press firmly with wet fingertips until the mixture is uniformly spread.

The colour of the biscuit brownies in the various pictures all look different because of the difference in lighting. Bear with me. Whatever colour the brownies are, they will be delicious, I promise.

9. Refrigerate for minimum 4 hours or overnight if possible. This picture was taken after 2 hours of refrigeration because I was impatient. If you are like me, you will get more fudge-y brownies that won’t hold its shape when you cut it.

If you refrigerate longer, then they can be cut into perfect squares and taste delicious. This was taken the day after I made them.

  3. Thanks for the recipe! Needed a no bake biscuit dessert for a get together. I used peanuts instead and a bit too much I think so it was more like a snickers bar instead of brownie. Will try again to get it right but was still yummy 🙂

  4. Nice. Good. Turned out well. I had some doubt as it became very hard while mixing, but it became soft once refrigerated.

    • hi manoj, it’s just a regular aluminium brownie tray. you can use anything you have in hand, even a steel plate. something with a rim will do

  11. Hi Nags,
    I am sujana…. i loved this site soo much with such easy recipes. And this particular one…. awesome.
    Thought I’d use it for Fireless cooking in our summer camp. Though I just want to know if I can bake it and give the kids the brownie instead of waiting till the next day. The kids will be soo excited that asking them to wait till nxt day class would not be soo great. Hope u can help me out. Thanks!!!

    Reply

    • hi, glad you like the site! you have to leave the brownies to cool and set in the refrigerator otherwise they won’t be easy to slice.

  13. Awesome. I like this easy way. Wonderful site. I am from Palakkad, Kerala. Lived in Bangalore, Muscat,Dubai and finally settled in U.S. Hope you will post more Arabic or Mediterranean recipes which are mostly wholesome and healthy. I love everything about your blog.

    • Thanks you so much Shyama, means a lot you say that 🙂 I’ll try to include more Arabic recipes, I love them too!

    • ok, your wait is over 🙂 I tried them yesterday.While going home I shopped for Marie biscuit and milkmaid 🙂

      I reduced your recipe by half as was not sure about the final outcome 😉

      It turned out very easy and simple recipe and I loved it. I was licking mixing bowl to make sure nothing is left in the bowl.

      I took them to office today and every one just loved it 🙂

      only one question, my biscuits were in proper shape but were not too solid or crisp, are they suppose to be like this. In last image I see them solid biscuits, not soft one's. I was very conscious while adding milk maid and added very little quantity, actually I had read all the comments to make sure I am doing right… learning from other's mistake 🙂

      waiting to hear from you.

      Reply

    • not sure i get your question. are you asking about the biscuits or the biscuits brownies? as in, your final product?

      immediately after making, it will be sticky and fudgy but after refrigerating overnight, it will turn harder and you can easily cut into squares. it will not be crisp but softer like brownies

      Reply

  15. Is it ok if i don't have butter paper to line the baking tin. Can I just grease a tin and press the chocolate mixture and let to set in the fridge, will I be able to cut them into squares?
    Waiting for your reply: [email protected]

  16. Hey Nags!
    I just wanted to know 3 things…
    Can we like use Cashews instead ?? or please do suggest something else.. 😀
    And the other is that when we refrigerate the brownies… dont they harden ??
    And the third is that my birthday is coming up..
    and i want to make these as a sweet snack.. so if almost 20 people are coming then what measurements do i take ??
    PLEASE HELP !!

    Reply

    • hey abhinaya, you can definitely use cashew nuts instead. dry roast them lightly before chopping up and adding to the biscuit brownies. when you refrigerate the brownies, they DO harden and you can cut into pieces as you can see in the pictures. but make sure you leave them overnight or atleast for 6-7 hours to harden perfectly.

      the quantity above gave me about 12 pieces. so you can double or triple the ingredients above to serve 20 people.

  17. Hi Lakshmi,
    Thanks a lot for your great recipe! I don't know what went wrong with my brownies as they are hard and not moist at all after refrigerated for 4 hours. I put in 20-25 pcs of digestive biscuits (about 400g). The brownies turned out incredibly sweet. Is it because I used sweetened condensed milk? I couldn't feel the chopped almonds texture inside the brownies too 🙁

    Hope you can give me some advise on this. Thanks!

  18. Hello 🙂
    I liked the recipe. 🙂 I want to make it & send to my boyfriend staying in a hostel. Could you tell me if these can be kept for a few days without refrigeration ? & if yes, around how many days?

  19. Hi Nags! Am a devout follower of your blog and have tried out many recipes and am in complete awe ! Kudos to you and keep it going ! God bless.
    Just came across this recipe today and its perfect for a working hardly-free-time lady or wait please add lazy too 🙂
    Had some quick questions. Can we replace the nuts with say choco chips? My daughter (just like her mom) hates nuts. Also did you use the sweetened condensed milk?

    Reply

  20. Hi Nags, I have been following your recipes for long and in complete awe. I'm ashamed that I haven't placed a comment yet 🙂 Just came across this perfect-recipe for a working mom today.
    I have one doubt. Can we replace the nuts with anything else? My daughter (just like her mom) hates nuts in anything 🙂 Also the condensed milk which you used, is it the sweetened one?

  22. Tried the recipe over the weekend with my kids. Totally loved it, thanks. Posted it today. Ours weren't as rich brown as yours. Can't figure out why. Oh I must add I'm not too good a cook so I might have messed up somewhere. They tasted great though.

    Reply

  24. Made this. Absolutely delicious. I guess I could reduce the condensed milk since I did not get an absolutely firm texture. It held shape very well though. Also added a tsp of coffee and skipped the sugar. Posted it. Thanks.

  25. Hi Nags,

    Thanks a lot for posting this super duper recipe.
    I tried it at home and it came out well, everyone including my lil one loved it!!!
    We teamed it up with ice-cream and a little dulce de leche as well and it was awesome.
    The best part of course is that it doesnt involve eggs and no baking.
    With your permission can I use this on my baby blog ,of course with a link and due credit to yours?
    Do let me know…Thanks.

    Love,
    Manju.

  27. hi nags, i tried this recipe yesterday and it came out fabulous. I used Milk and Malt biscuits instead of Marie, so skipped the sugar,used up the walnuts I had without roasting and almost used 80% of my condensed milk tin. since it was quite hard, i flattened it and wrapped it in cling film and then refrigerated it. it was hard in 3 hours and was really good… a recipe for keeps!!!! 🙂

    Reply

  28. I've tried this recipe several times but this time, I ran a li'l short of the required quantity of condensed milk and so I added about 3-4 tsp of melted butter (along with the condensed milk) and it tastied even yummier! Try it 🙂

    Reply

  30. Looks absolutely divine!! i was wondering if it's possible to substitute the cocoa powder and sugar with milo/ovaltine? If it is do i still need to use the condensed milk or reduce quantity? could i use fresh cream instead?

    sorry for so many questions, but it would'be a lot of help if you answered.

    Reply

    • changing cocoa powder to milo will work but it won't taste as good (that's my opinion anyway). Changing condensed milk to cream won't give you pieces like this, it may still be gooey and you may not be able to shape it.

  34. I have a question, will the brownies turn hard? I didnt try it yet, but i'm afraid if that will happen. Besides that, is it ok if i use the chocolate flavoured mary biscuits?

    Reply

    • yes you can use chocolate flavoured marie biscuits for the no-bake biscuit dessert. if you follow the recipe i have given, i don't see any reason why it shouldn't harden. it did for me, as you can tell from the pics.

  36. hi Nags… Had gone thru ur eggless desserts a long time back and was waiting to try one of those. Yesterday i tried this n let it set overnight. Just after taking out from the fridge it was pretty set. But after a while it got a little soft again. Where did i go wrong? I buttered the bowl in which i set the dessert bur i was not able to take it out as a whole. Please correct me as i would like to try it again coz the taste was really yummmmmy !! MY 18 months daughter and my guests loved it. Thanks Nags !! n Cheers to ur great blog !! 🙂

    Reply

    • Thanks for trying the marie biscuit brownies. Actually, these won't retain their shape if you leave it out for too long since there's no setting agent in it. I would advice you take them out just before serving. As for coming out in one single piece, try using butter paper next time, because the brownies are quite delicate (due to lack of setting agent, again)

  39. Hi, thanks for this lovely recipe. I tried this last night, but it was still soft after 24 hrs refrigeration. Will consider your above suggestion. Is it OK if it is set in the freezer. Thanks

  41. Hi! i tried this one but it didn't harden even if i put it in the fridge overnight 🙁 can you suggest for any solution? 🙁

  42. What I like about this recipe is that it is a no cook / no bake recipe. I used roasted peanuts as my children love peanuts. Thanks for this really easy and delicious recipe.

  43. Nags, I am meeting a couple of friends tomorrow for lunch before I head out for Goa. I am meeting them after 6yrs, so have made this for them, nice na! Infact just completed and shoved it inside the fridge. Would update my blog with this recipe of yours after they come out tomorrow morn. Would complete it with pictures and all. 🙂

    Thanks a ton for this. Would update you on how this came out to be. 🙂

  51. Plain sugar works well. It sets because of the biscuits and condensed milk. Just chill overnight and you will be fine 🙂 Good luck and let me know if you try the no-bake chocolate biscuit brownies

  52. A lovely website I just discovered. Liked all the posts and they are very well written.. Infact very descriptive because of the pictures taken step by step … In this recipe I wanted to know if you have to use icing/powdered sugar or just the plain sugar. How does it set when you dont cook it at al… I liked the recipe very much and would like to try it soon.Thanks

  54. This is such a Godsend! I've been meaning to make desserts but with a toddler around just didn't have time to manage an oven and keeping him away at the same time – so stumbling upon your site is perfect! And I've seen a few others I'd like to take a stab at as well. Thanks so much! 🙂

  55. That packet of marie biscuits is long over so I am not sure 🙁 I used mini ones as well actually. The powder came up to about 2 cups. Hope that helps!

    Reply

  56. Hi thanks so much for the recipe! i made this for my brother and sis-in-law and they loved it! However, I had a small problem because even after a day in the fridge, the brownies were very soft and fudgey… I didn't add any nuts (allergy issues) but increased the number of biscuits. Also, I have a sneaking suspicion that the Sri Lankan marie biscuit is smaller than the Singaporean one. Any idea how much 25 marie biscuits weigh over there?

    Reply

  58. I didn't measure the powdered biscuits but in this recipe, you can just play it by ear and use approximate measurements, it will still come out just fine 🙂 Try with 1 cup, for example

    Reply

  59. Hi, it looks delicious. Can you tell me how much (in cup measures) the powdered biscuits yield? I am keen to try this out some time this week.

    And is there a substitute to the butter paper that I can use, say, aluminium foil or cling wrap?

  62. hi… I always wanted to make this biscuit brownie and i was glad i found the step by step recipe here!!

    But i don't know what went wrong, the brownies didn't harden….(i kept it refrigerated for more than 1 day)
    Devastated (didn't want to waste all that yummy milkmaid) i added milk and fruits(i tried apple and banana) and ice cubes to the brownie and made milkshakes….. Voila!!! it tasted awesome!

  63. i have mentioned this in the post. you can try digestive biscuits for a different flavour or experiment with other kinds of biscuits. just make sure you keep an eye on quantity needed, it may differ.

  66. Hi Nags,

    I made it this weekend and it came out extremely well. I substituted hazelnuts with roasted almonds. My kid just loved it. This is the first time I have tried anything to do with chocolate… I haven't tried your baking recipes though I am tempted to…

  71. I have a question. What can be used to replace the sweetened condensed milk, if anything? I'm a bit of a cook myself and I try to develop recipes that are diabetic friendly and this one sounds pretty good except for the milk. Any ideas?

  81. YOu are a genius to come up with such a simple luscious recipe, went through the comments here and I have a doubt – we get orange marie biscuits here in India, would that add flavour or detract from choco heaven?
    I plan to try this no fuss recipe tonight – so that I can resist from peeping into the fridge and let it chill well 🙂

  86. Meghs, go with this one. The MW 5-min mug cake needs to be served immediately and taste can vary depending on ingredients and all. This one is a winner and you can make it the night before, come together very quickly!

    Just make sure you get plain marie biscuits.

  104. if you refrigerate them overnight, they will be fine even if kept outside for a while, i actually did this. but it needs some solid refrigeration time. after 4 hours it looks like the third last picture, a bit gooey.
