Break the tea biscuits into tiny pieces using your hand. The pieces don’t have to be uniform in size.
Then, add the melted dark chocolate, cocoa powder, sweetened condensed milk, and melted butter in a separate bowl. Whisk until just combined.
Pour the chocolate mixture on top of the crushed biscuits and combine using a spatula until all the biscuit is covered in chocolate.
Align a loaf pan with parchment paper, then add the chocolate and biscuit batter. Pack the chocolate and biscuit batter in the pan firmly. Then, add another layer of parchment paper to the top of the lazy cake and cover it with plastic wrap.
Place the loaf pan in the freezer, and freeze the lazy cake for 2-3 hours or until set. Then invert the loaf pan, to flip the cake.
To serve, cut slices of lazy cake using a bread knife for a neat slice.
- Biscuits: You can use any type of tea biscuit brand you like, and it does not have to be gluten-free if you don’t follow a gluten-free diet. I used Schär’s gluten free petit biscotto classico.
- Tips: Do not add the melted chocolate onto the biscuits until slightly cooled. Otherwise, the biscuits will become soggy, and the lazy cake will lose its crunchy texture.
- Freezing and Storage Instructions: The lazy cake can stay fresh in the freezer for up to three months. It can also be stored in the fridge for up to a week. Do not leave the lazy cake at room temperature.
