I was first introduced to this recipe by Vaishali in 2007 when we were both working in the same team back in Google Hyderabad. Edible Garden was a new blog back then and she recommended this simple Marie biscuit dessert recipe that her mom used to make her I loved the idea because I am have always been partial to desserts and puddings using Marie biscuits and tried the recipe that same weekend. Can’t believe this was almost 10 years ago! I have made this simple dessert so many times and fine tuned the chocolate coating recipe to make it more stable and easy to do. It may seem like a lot of butter but remember, you get around 10-12 “cookies” when you cut the stacked log so the total amount of butter gets divided into many smaller portions. Or, let’s just tell ourselves that and enjoy this treat, shall we? 🙂 If you love no-bake desserts, then you must check out:No-bake biscuit browniesEggless no-bake strawberry mousseNo-bake Oreo cheesecakeClassic tiramisu recipeTrifle pudding
Step by step Marie Biscuit Chocolate Logs Recipe
Place the softened butter in a bowl and add the icing sugar and cocoa powder along with vanilla extract (if using) Mix thoroughly until you get a soft thick mixture like frosting. If you find your chocolate mixture too runny, add more sugar. Heat the milk and add coffee powder. Mix well to combine Take your first Marie biscuit and dip into the hot milk for 5 seconds Remove and place on a plate. Take about 1 tsp of the chocolate frosting and smear over the biscuit Take the second biscuit and repeat the same process until you have a long biscuit stack with chocolate frosting in between Smear the remaining chocolate frosting all over the biscuit tower generously Refrigerate this biscuit tower for approximately 2 hours or overnight. The coating will be a bit messy due to the soft butter mixture but don’t fret, it will be fine once it sets and you slice into them, nobody can tell it’s messy. Also, yes that’s the inside of my fridge you see below! Once set, take it out and lay down on a cutting board. Use a fork to create lines over the chocolate log to resemble the lines on a wooden log Cut slightly diagonally with a sharp knife to get your log cookies, the biscuits would be soft by then Serve immediately or keep chilled until ready to serve.
