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?

Eggless No Bake Biscuit Brownie Recipe
Ingredients
- 20-25 Marie biscuits
- 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup roasted nut of choice I used hazelnuts
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1/2 of a 400gm tin condensed milk I used low fat Milkmaid
Instructions
- Break the biscuits into fours and powder coarsely
- Add the cocoa powder to this and mix well.
- Add the sugar to this mixture and mix again.
- Dry-roast any nut of choice and let it cool.
- Chop the nuts coarsely and add to the above and mix well.
- Add half a tin of condensed milk to this mixture.
- Mix well with a sturdy spoon.
- 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 firm
- Cut into squares and serve.
- 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.

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?
oh i lov such no hassel no bake desserts thanks a ton
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
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?
I made this some days back for my baby's 1st Birthday. check my post too-

no idea why that happened mukhil. did you add enough biscuits? glad you improvised though, sounds delicious the way you did it 🙂
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!
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.
is there a substitute for marie biscuit?
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…
