What is No Bake Tiled Biscuit Cake?
This no-bake biscuit cake is a combination of ladyfingers, chocolate cookies, and custard that are layered in a cake pan and allowed to sit until the cookies soften and become cake-like. This cake doesn’t require any baking at all. The only cooking required is when you make the custard on the stove.
Pro Tips
- Don’t oversoak the ladyfingers or they may fall apart before you place them in the cake pan.
- Line the cake pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
- When making the custard on the stove, continuously whisk it to prevent lumps from forming.
- If your custard does curdle slightly, you can save it by pouring it through a fine-mesh strainer.
- Ensure that you allow the cake enough time to fully cool and set in the fridge before slicing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I Use Other Cookies?
You should use ladyfingers in this recipe as it is difficult to find a comparable cookie, but if you prefer not to use the chocolate cookies, feel free to replace them with any other thinly shaped cookie that you enjoy.
Can I Add Other Ingredients to the Custard?
Yes, you can! For a chocolate custard, simply replace part of the flour with cocoa powder. Alternatively, you could replace the lemon zest with orange zest if you appreciate the taste of orange in your desserts.
Can I Make No Bake Biscuit Cake in a Round Pan?
Yes, you could, although you will likely need to break or cut some of the cookies so they fit in the pan. Using a square-shaped pan ensures that you can use longer cookies without having to cut them.
How to Store No Bake Biscuit Cake
This biscuit cake can simply be covered and stored in the fridge until you are ready to serve it. It should keep well for up to 3 or 4 days.
