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.

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 !!
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.
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!
looks like you added too many biscuits. i used sweetened condensed milk too so that's not an issue. maybe increase the amount of cocoa and nuts?
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?
it will stay just fine up to 3 days. i haven't tried keeping it longer 🙂
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?
so sorry for the very late reply. yes you can definitely replace with choco chips and yes i used sweetened condensed milk
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?
Ohkk… i wanted to know… is this a no bake recipe… we just have to refrigerate the mixture?… thats it?
i have mentioned it in the title itself cherry. this is a no-bake brownie recipe.
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.
i use valrhona chocolate powder which is a very deep colour. that could be the reason why 🙂
made this and posted in my blog today..it was delicious..
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.
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?

Love,
Manju.
