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 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ cup roasted nut of choice I used hazelnuts
- 2 teaspoon sugar
- ½ 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 teaspoon sugar.
4. Dry-roast any nut of choice and let it cool. I had some roasted hazelnuts handy so used that. Roughly ¼ 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, 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!!!! 🙂

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 🙂

this looks so good, it looks like fudge, I will have to try this, thanks

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.

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.

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?
Nagalakshmi V
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.
