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 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 !! 🙂
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)
Thank u so much Nags ! Will try with butter paper next time.
Tried it!!!N it was YUMMMYYY…!!! loved it 🙂 thank you for the recipe..!!
can u plz tell me the substitute of condensed milk.
You can't substitute condensed milk in this recipe
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
freezer may be too cold. try adding less condensed milk to make the mixture less moist.
I tried this recipi and it is really yummy.
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? 🙁
it was probably too moist. try scaling down the condensed milk next time.
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.
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!
