How to make easy no-bake biscuits
Inspired by the Northern Irish speciality Fifteens, they're delicious, easy to make, and the best part is there's no baking required.
- 30 digestive biscuits
- 15 glacé cherries
- Large handful of mini marshmallows
- Handful of desiccated coconut
- 2 tins condensed milk
- Knife
- Rolling pin
- Deep tray (e.g. baking tray)
Step 1
Crush the biscuits, and chop the cherries into small pieces. Grab a grown-up if you need help using a knife!
You might find it easier to mix half of the ingredients first, then add the other half.
TOP TIP: To crush the biscuits, try putting them in a freezer bag and gently bashing them with a mug or rolling pin.
Step 2
Mix in the marshmallows and coconut, then pour in the condensed milk and mix thoroughly.
Step 3
Transfer the mixture into a deep tray. Using your rolling pin, push it flat into the tray so it’s squashed right down.
Step 4
Leave in the fridge for an hour, then take it out and cut it into slices.
And you're done – share the gooey goodness with your friends and family!
TOP TIP: You could add a little bit of coconut on top for effect!
