Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Biscuit Mixture

Begin by *crumbling the leftover biscuits and dry bread crumbs* into a fine mixture. You can use a food processor for a smoother consistency or do it manually for a chunkier texture.

Make sure the crumbs are well blended so that they can easily combine with the wet ingredients in the next step.

Step 2

Combine Ingredients

In a mixing bowl, add the *room-temperature butter*, sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, and the crumbled biscuit mixture. If you prefer, you can slightly melt the butter for easier mixing but avoid overheating it.

*Mix everything together* until you achieve a uniform mass. This should be thick and sticky, making it easy to shape later.

Step 3

Shape and Chill

Once your mixture is ready, you can *shape it into any form you desire*. You could create small balls, a log shape, or even use molds for fun figures.

After shaping, place the dessert in the freezer to set. This will help the structure hold together. Let it chill for at least an hour before serving or cutting.

Step 4

Serve and Enjoy

When ready, take your dessert out of the freezer and *slice or serve it as desired*. You can garnish it with additional nuts, chocolate sprinkles, or serve it alongside a scoop of ice cream for a delightful treat!

This biscuit cake not only helps with leftovers but is also a fun and nostalgic treat that brings back childhood memories. Enjoy your quick and tasty creation!

Servings

When it comes to serving this nostalgic treat, the possibilities are endless! You can shape the mixture into fun logs, chill them, and slice them into bite-sized pieces for a delightful snack. Pair it with a cup of hot cocoa ☕ for a cozy evening or serve it at your next gathering for a hit dessert that everyone will love! Feeling adventurous? Try rolling the logs in shredded coconut or crushed nuts for extra texture and flavor. 🎉 You can even layer it with whipped cream or fresh fruits for an indulgent dessert parfait that’ll impress your guests. Remember to have fun with it and let your creativity shine! ✨
