Cake "Anthill" made from cookies without baking with condensed milk and butter
I'll start first. So, I had a simple loose baked milk shortbread cookie. It is packaged in bags of 0.5 kilograms - exactly as much as needed. I have regular condensed milk, not boiled. When purchasing, you should pay attention to quality. I sprinkled chocolate chopped in a blender on top of my anthill, and added walnuts inside. It turned out “I can’t do it”, simple, tasty and very sweet. Sometimes, that’s exactly what you want – sweet, sweet.
Ingredients:
- shortbread cookies – 500g;
- milk – 200ml;
- butter – 200g;
- condensed milk – 1 can (400g);
- cocoa powder – 1 tbsp;
- walnuts – 1 handful;
- chocolate – 0.5 bars.
Cake "Anthill" made from cookies at home: recipe with photos step by step
- We take the butter out of the refrigerator in advance so that it can stand at room temperature and become soft.
- The cookies need to be crushed. To do this, you can use a blender to make crumbs out of it. But I would recommend breaking about 1/5 of the cookies into pieces with your hands, then the cake will not be completely homogeneous, in addition to nuts, there will be these pieces and the texture will be more interesting. Place crumbs, cookie pieces, chopped walnuts into a large bowl.
- In another container, beat the butter with condensed milk and cocoa with a mixer. We get a thick, homogeneous cream.
- Combine cream and cookies. Mix well.
- From the resulting mass on a flat plate, we make a hill with our hands, the shape of which will resemble an anthill.
- Grind the chocolate or chop it again in a blender and sprinkle it on top of the cake.
- Place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. But it's better at night. During this time, the mass will set and harden to such an extent that it can be cut with a knife, but will still remain soft.
And that's all - the cake is ready. No baking, no oven in a quarter of an hour.

Cake “Anthill” made from cookies
A taste familiar to everyone since childhood. Incredibly tasty, satisfying and easy to prepare recipe. In addition, this quick cake can stand in the refrigerator for several days without losing its taste. Even a man who is far from kitchen affairs can make this delicacy.

- walnuts 1-1/4 cups
- 380 g boiled condensed milk
- 100 g butter
- poppy for decoration
Cooking method:
Since this recipe does not require baking, let's start by chopping the walnuts. Chop them with a knife - not very finely. Take the butter out of the refrigerator an hour or two before you start cooking - you want it to become soft. Break the cookies into medium-sized pieces, you can do smaller ones, then they will be more saturated. Pour the cookies into the bowl containing the chopped nuts and mix thoroughly.
If the butter has softened enough, it’s time to prepare the cream. Place boiled condensed milk in a large container, add butter and start beating with a mixer at low speed. Gradually increasing the speed, make a cream. Pour the nut and cookie mixture into a bowl and mix thoroughly. Place the mixture on a plate lined with film and form into a cone. Sprinkle with poppy seeds and cocoa (optional), wrap in film and refrigerate overnight. The cake needs at least 10 hours to brew. Bon appetit!
How to make “House” from cookies?
The butter is melted. Add to the cottage cheese, add both types of sugar, mix thoroughly. Add sour cream. Beat the mass thoroughly.
The milk is slightly warmed. Place cling film on the board. Each cookie is dipped in milk. Lay it out in rows three cookies wide. Grease with half the curd mass.
Add cocoa to the rest of the mixture and mix thoroughly. The brown curd is again applied to the cookies. The peeled banana is cut coarsely into three or four pieces. Place on medium cookie. Raise the edges of the cookies and fold them into a house. It turns out that the cookies are the floor and the roof, and the cottage cheese and banana are inside.

- 50 grams of walnuts
- glass of raisins
- 50 grams of sugar

Cooking method:
Let's start cooking by washing the raisins. You can soak it in boiling water for 10-15 minutes and then dry it with a paper towel. Pass raisins and nuts through a meat grinder. A blender is not suitable for this - you need the pieces not to be too small. Rub the cottage cheese with a spoon through a sieve and mix with the crushed mass. Pour in 3-4 tablespoons of condensed milk and add sugar. To prepare the cream, beat the dissolved butter at high speed with the rest of the condensed milk, add cocoa, you can increase the dose as you wish. It's time to assemble the “Cat House”.
Lay a piece of cling film on a cutting board, place cling film on top of it and spread it with cocoa cream. Dip each cookie in milk and place 3 rows of 7 cookies each. Place the filling on the middle row, forming it into a sausage. This no-bake recipe comes to the most important part - shaping the cake. Using cling film, fold the cookies into a triangle. Carefully wrap in foil and place the dessert in the refrigerator to allow the filling to cool. Usually this takes 5-6 hours, but it all depends on the juiciness of the components. Cut the cooled cake into triangles - enjoy your tea!

Cookie cake with nuts and marshmallows
When choosing cookies, give preference to ones that taste almost completely non-sweet, because the recipe contains condensed milk. Of course, if you have a sweet tooth when eating this dessert, you can choose sweeter cookies for the cake.
Ingredients:
- 500 grams of cookies
- 150 grams of roasted peanuts
- condensed milk
- butter 1 pack

- spoon of cognac (optional)
Cooking method:
Use high-quality, real condensed milk, and not substitute products with vegetable oils. This way the finished dessert will taste much better. Let's get down to the simplest task. Pour the cookies into a fairly strong plastic bag and roll over it several times with a rolling pin to break everything. What you need is not small crumbs, but just cookies broken into medium-sized pieces. Next, prepare the cream. Start whipping soft butter with a mixer at low speed and gradually add condensed milk and a spoonful of cognac. The result will be a homogeneous fluffy mass that holds its shape well. Add the broken cookies into the cream and stir.
The ingredients are ready - it's time to prepare the form. It's best if it's a springform pan. If you don't have one, line it with regular baking paper so it hangs over the edges. Then, by pulling the paper, you can easily remove the cake from the mold. So, lay out the first layer - these will be halves of marshmallows. Sprinkle nuts and shortbread mixture on top. Smooth the surface and leave the cake to set for at least 4 hours, preferably 6-7. That's it, the recipe has come to an end. When the cream has set sufficiently, use a plate to turn the cake over.

- boiled condensed milk – 200 g;
For the glaze (optional):
- butter – 30 g;
- milk – 3 tbsp;
- powdered sugar – 4 tbsp;
- cocoa powder – 2 tbsp.
How to make a cake from cookies and condensed milk without baking in the oven
- Using a rolling pin, crush most of the cookies to fine crumbs. We break the rest with our hands or knead it with a rolling pin, but so that small pieces remain. To speed up the process, you can use a blender or meat grinder.
- Place the butter in the microwave for a short time to soften it or take it out of the refrigerator in advance. Then add boiled condensed milk to it.
- Beat the mixture with a mixer until smooth.
- Combine cookies and a mixture of butter and condensed milk. Since we need to ensure that the base for the dessert does not turn out dry and crumbly, we will put some of the crushed cookies aside for now.
- Mix everything thoroughly. The base should turn out not liquid, and at the same time not dry. If you squeeze the mixture into a fist, it will not crumble later. Mix in the remaining cookies if the base mixes easily with a spoon.
- To ensure that the cake can easily move away from the walls, place a clean plastic bag in the container in which it will be cooled. We lay the base directly on it. Compact and level the cake. To prevent it from absorbing foreign odors, we also cover it with a bag or cling film on top.
- We put our cake in the freezer for 80-120 minutes, or in the refrigerator overnight. When the cookies and cream have cooled and hardened, remove the film from above, and carefully turn the cake over onto a flat plate and remove it from the bag.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan, then add the remaining ingredients for the glaze and mix everything well. When the glaze becomes homogeneous, remove it from the stove and wait for it to thicken a little. Then we decorate our cake with it. Before serving, it is advisable to cool it a little more in the refrigerator, but if you don’t have time for this, you can do this.
