Step-by-step
- Prepare a 23-25cm slice or cake tin with cooking spray and baking paper (allows paper to stick)

- In a large pot add the butter, condensed milk, brown sugar and cocoa and over a low heat melt until completely combined, stirring occasionally.
- Once melted add the vanilla and stir in well.
- Once the ingredients fully combined & melted, pour into this the crushed biscuits and the marshmallows – quickly combine all the ingredients.
- Spoon mixture into the lined slice tin.
- Firmly press down with the back of a spoon.
- Allow to set in the fridge before slicing - ideally overnight.
- Slice into squares to serve, storing in an airtight container in the fridge.
My Simple No-Bake Marshmallow Slice: A Sweet Treat for Any Occasion
As a busy working mom, time is a precious commodity. I'm always on the lookout for recipes that are quick, easy, and delicious—desserts that don’t require hours in the kitchen but still impress. That’s why my go-to recipe for impromptu gatherings or a simple family dessert is this No-Bake Marshmallow Slice. It's unbelievably simple, requires minimal ingredients, and tastes absolutely divine.
The beauty of this recipe lies in its simplicity. There's no oven required, which means no preheating, no baking time, and less cleanup—a huge win in my book! The creamy, dreamy marshmallow filling, perfectly complemented by the crunchy biscuit base and rich cocoa, creates a delightful textural contrast that everyone seems to love. I often find myself making a double batch, especially during the holidays when visitors are plentiful, and it always disappears quickly.
The Ingredients: A Blend of Familiar Favorites
This recipe relies on readily available ingredients, making it perfect for a last-minute dessert craving. You'll need some basic pantry staples: biscuits (I prefer a sweet variety), marshmallows, condensed milk, cocoa powder, brown sugar, butter, and vanilla essence. The quantities are easily adjustable to suit your needs, whether you're making a small slice for yourself or a larger one for a crowd.
The Process: Effortless Bliss
The instructions are straightforward and easy to follow, even for novice bakers. First, you crush the biscuits—a food processor makes this super quick—and prepare the marshmallow filling. This involves simply melting the butter, condensed milk, brown sugar, and cocoa together in a pan, stirring occasionally until smooth. Once it's completely melted, you stir in the vanilla essence. Then, combine the melted mixture with the crushed biscuits and marshmallows. Gently mix them together, pour the mixture into a prepared baking tin, press it firmly, and refrigerate it until it sets. That's it! Simplicity at its finest.
Serving and Storage: Sweet Simplicity
Once the slice has chilled overnight (or for at least a few hours), cut it into squares and serve. The result is a rich, decadent dessert that's surprisingly easy to make. Store any leftover slices in an airtight container in the fridge to maintain freshness. The slice keeps well for a few days, though I doubt it will last that long!
Beyond the Basics: Variations and Tweaks
While the original recipe is perfect on its own, feel free to experiment with different variations. You can add nuts, chocolate chips, or even different types of biscuits to personalize the flavor. Get creative and have fun with it!
Conclusion: A Dessert for Every Occasion
This No-Bake Marshmallow Slice recipe is a testament to the fact that simple doesn't have to mean boring. It's a versatile dessert, perfect for casual get-togethers, potlucks, or simply a sweet treat after a long day. The easy preparation, delicious taste, and minimal cleanup make it a winner in my books, and I'm sure it will become a favorite in yours too.
