Growing up, I had a family friend who used to make a version of this Lazy Cake for me every time I went over to her house. While her cake recipe still remains a mystery, I will be sharing my version with you all today! The good news is it takes just four ingredients to create a Lazy Cake that’s the perfect combination of crunchy and soft with a rich chocolate flavour that might remind you of Rocky Road.
In addition to being no-bake, this Lazy Cake recipe is also super affordable. I often find all the ingredients at my local Dollarama. Despite it being a dessert served cold, I like to enjoy it all year ‘roud. So grab a glass of milk and thank me later, but be warned, once you have a bite, you’ll be heading back to the fridge for more.

ingredients
directions
Start by creating a water bath for melting your chocolate. Bring a pot of water to a boil, then place a bowl or additional pot on top. Add butter and chocolate to the top pot. Stir occasionally until melted, then remove from heat.
While the chocolate is melting, break the digestive biscuits into large pieces and add them to a mixing bowl. Don’t worry too much about making the pieces small.
Add a can of sweetened condensed milk into the melted chocolate. Fold mixture until you don’t see any streaks.
Pour the chocolate mixture into the large bowl with the biscuits and combine until all the biscuits are covered in chocolate.
Line a small baking tray with parchment paper. Pour in the chocolate mixture and place covered in the freezer for at least 6 hours.
After six hours, you can take the cake out of the freezer and enjoy it immediately or place it in the fridge for an additional 6 hours to allow the flavours to set.
Remove the cake and parchment from the baking dish and slice to serve.
Sprinkle with optional coconut and enjoy!
