Ingredients

• 1 large piece butter (approx. 100-120g)
• 1 can sweetened condensed milk (Nestlé or any brand)
• 1½ packs Shahi biscuits (or any plain tea biscuits)
• 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the sweetened condensed milk and stir until well combined.
2. Add the cocoa powder and mix continuously until the mixture becomes smooth and slightly thickened (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from heat.
3. Break the biscuits into medium pieces (not too fine). Add them to the chocolate mixture and stir gently until all the biscuits are well coated.
4. Place the mixture on a sheet of butter paper or plastic wrap. Shape it into a log or roll using the paper to help tighten it. Wrap firmly and twist the ends like a candy.
5. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours (preferably overnight) until completely firm.
6. Slice into rounds and serve cold. Enjoy!

Tips for Success

• Do not over-crush the biscuits — medium pieces give the best crunchy texture.
• If the mixture is too dry, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk.
• For a richer taste, add a handful of chopped walnuts, pistachios, or hazelnuts.
• Wrap the roll very tightly so it holds its shape when sliced.
• Store in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.

Variations

• Oreo Lazy Cake: Use Oreo biscuits instead of plain tea biscuits.
• Nutty Version: Add crushed hazelnuts, almonds, or pistachios.
• Coconut Version: Mix in desiccated coconut for extra flavor.
• Chocolate Chips: Add mini chocolate chips for more chocolate intensity.
