A simple and delightful dessert that requires no baking! Layers of your favorite biscuits soaked in milk, sandwiched with a creamy, sweet filling. Perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients:
- Biscuits:
- Approximately 2-3 packs (depending on size and desired layers) of your favorite plain biscuits (like Marie, digestive, or graham crackers).
- Milk:
- 1-2 cups of milk (for soaking the biscuits).
- Cream Filling:
- 1 cup heavy cream (or whipping cream).
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional).
- Optional Garnishes:
- Chocolate shavings.
- Sprinkles.
- Cocoa powder.
- Fruit.
- Nuts.
Instructions:
- Prepare the Cream Filling:
- In a chilled bowl, pour the heavy cream.
- Using an electric mixer (handheld or stand mixer), beat the cream until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract (if using), continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overbeat.
- Soak the Biscuits:
- Pour the milk into a shallow dish.
- Quickly dip each biscuit into the milk, ensuring it’s lightly soaked but not soggy.
- Assemble the Cake:
- On a serving plate or tray, arrange a layer of the soaked biscuits.
- Spread a generous layer of the cream filling over the biscuit layer.
- Repeat the layers: soaked biscuits, cream filling, until you’ve used up all the biscuits and cream, finishing with a layer of cream on top.
- Garnish (Optional):
- Decorate the top of the cake with your desired garnishes, such as chocolate shavings, sprinkles, cocoa powder, fruits, or nuts.
- Chill:
- Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the biscuits to soften and the cream to set.
- Serve:
- Slice and serve the chilled Creamy Biscuit Cake. Enjoy!
Tips and Variations:
- Chocolate Version: Add cocoa powder to the cream filling or use chocolate-flavored biscuits.
- Coffee Version: Add a teaspoon of instant coffee to the milk for soaking the biscuits or add coffee extract to the cream.
- Fruit Layer: Add a layer of fresh fruit, such as sliced strawberries or bananas, between the biscuit and cream layers.
- Nutty Version: Sprinkle chopped nuts between layers or on top of the cake.
- Layer Variation: You can also use alternating layers of different flavored biscuits.
- Soaking time: Be very quick when soaking the biscuits. If they soak for too long they will become too mushy.
- Serving size: This recipe can be adjusted to make larger or smaller cakes. Simply increase or decrease the ingredient quantities accordingly.
