4-Ingredient Nescafe Cake (No-Bake!)
This addictive icebox cake, known as "Nescafe cake" across the middle east layers tea biscuits dipped in coffee with a sweet whipped cream filling, with a final dusting of cocoa powder. Perfect for a simple, make-ahead treat!
Ingredients
- 500 ml heavy whipping cream (2 cups) (35% fat or higher)
- 150 ml sweetened condensed milk (half a 300ml can)
- 400 g Maria cookies (2 packets, each pack is 200g (See Notes))
- 8 oz coffee or espresso (235 ml)
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder (to dust)
Instructions
- 1
To start, combine the whipping cream and the sweetened condensed milk in the bowl of a stand mixer. With the whisk attachment, whip the cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, for roughly 3-5 minutes.

Meanwhile, brew the coffee and pour into a wide bowl or dish to cool down slightly.

Dip the cookies into the coffee and line them up on the bottom of an 8 by 12 casserole dish. See step-by-step photos for how to lay them out. Spread 1/3 of the cream mixture over top. Repeat the layering process two more times, ending with the last 1/3 of the cream mixture. You will have 3 layers of cookies and 3 layers of the cream. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 7 hours or overnight.

Before serving, dust generously with cocoa powder, then cut into pieces and serve chilled.
