No-Bake Chocolate Biscuit Roll

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Cakes and Desserts
The queen of 'no-bake' sweets, a close relative of chocolate salami. This recipe brings back retro vibes in a modern guise. The secret lies in the moisture content of the biscuit mass: soft enough not to crack when rolling, but firm enough to hold shape. Ideal emergency solution for unexpected guests or when you don't want to turn on the oven.

Equipment Needed

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Pastry board
  • Parchment paper or plastic wrap
  • Rolling pin

Allergen Information

⚠️ Wheat
⚠️ Milk

Instructions

1 ✓

Mix ground biscuits with cocoa powder and powdered sugar in a bowl.

Tip: Sift the cocoa powder to avoid bitter lumps.
2 ✓

Pour in melted butter, vanilla, and most of the milk. Start kneading by hand.

Tip: Milk amount depends on biscuit dryness. Add gradually until you get a pliable, moldable mass like playdough.
3 ✓

Lay out a sheet of parchment paper, place the ball on it, and top with another sheet. Roll out to a 1/4-inch thick rectangle.

Tip: Rolling between papers prevents sticking to the rolling pin without adding flour/sugar that would dry out the dough.
4 ✓

Remove top paper. Spread dough with chosen filling, leaving 1/2 inch at edges.

Tip: If using Nutella, warm it slightly for easier spreading so it doesn't tear the dough.
5 ✓

Using the bottom paper, roll up tightly from the long side. Wrap in the paper or foil and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Tip: Cooling solidifies butter and biscuits, allowing for clean slices with a sharp knife later.
6 ✓

Before serving, slice into finger-thick rounds with a knife dipped in hot water.

Recipe FAQ

Dough cracks when rolling, what did I do wrong?
The mass is too dry. Knead in a little more milk or melted butter!
Too sticky, can't roll.
Add more ground biscuits, or put it in the fridge for 15 minutes to let the butter harden slightly.
