Easy
No-Bake Sweet Condensed Milk Dessert
Yields: 8-10 servings Prep
time: 20 minutes Chill time: 2-4 hours (or overnight)
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups
digestive biscuits (or graham crackers), crushed
- 1/2 cup unsalted
butter, melted
- 1 (14-ounce) can
full-fat sweet condensed milk
- 8 ounces cream
cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup heavy
cream
- 1 tsp vanilla
extract
- Optional toppings:
fresh berries, chocolate shavings, cocoa powder, toasted coconut, caramel
sauce
Instructions:
1.
Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the crushed biscuits
and melted butter. Mix well until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press the
mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8x8 inch square baking dish or a 9-inch
pie plate. Use the bottom of a glass or your knuckles to ensure it's tightly
packed. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the
filling.
2.
Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened
cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
3.
Add Sweet Condensed Milk: Gradually add the sweet condensed milk
to the cream cheese, beating until fully combined and smooth. Scrape down the
sides of the bowl as needed.
4.
Whip the Cream: In a separate clean bowl, whip the heavy cream
until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip.
5.
Fold It In: Gently fold the whipped cream and vanilla
extract into the sweet condensed milk and cream cheese mixture until just
combined. Be gentle to maintain the airy texture.
6.
Assemble the Dessert: Pour the creamy filling over the
chilled biscuit crust in your prepared dish. Use a spatula to spread it evenly.
7.
Chill: Cover the dish loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate
for at least 2-4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the dessert to set
firmly.
8.
Decorate and Serve: Once thoroughly chilled, remove from the
refrigerator. Cut into squares or slices. Top with your favorite optional
toppings just before serving – fresh berries, a dusting of cocoa powder, or a
drizzle of caramel would all be delightful!
This
no-bake wonder is an absolute dream for busy days or when you simply want to
indulge without fuss. The rich, sweet filling perfectly balances the buttery,
crumbly crust, creating a dessert that's both elegant and incredibly
comforting. It's a fantastic recipe to have in your arsenal for impromptu
gatherings or a simple weeknight treat.
So
go ahead, grab that can of sweet condensed milk and let the magic unfold!
Happy
No-Baking!
