Indulge in this decadent no bake cookie cake, known in Malaysia as kek batik, or batik cake. A simple recipe that uses only a handful of ingredients, and yields delicious chocolatey bites.
Chocolate Ganache
Other Ingredients
Chocolate Ganache
In a bowl, add the chocolate chips and evaporated milk. Microwave for 60 seconds. Whisk until everything is melted and well combined.
Batik Cake
Break the Marie cookies into smaller pieces. Keep in mind, you don't want to break it into too small pieces or you won't get nice layers for this cake. I recommend breaking each cookie into 4 parts.
Over medium heat, melt all the butter. Once it melts, add all the condensed milk and sifted cocoa powder-- a little bit at a time while stirring with a whisk.
Once everything is well combined, turn off heat and add all the Marie cookies. Mix until every piece of cookie is well coated.
In a lined baking tray, add all the cookie mixture into it and press down/flatten the surface to compact the cake.
Pour the chocolate ganache all over the cake. Smooth out the surface and get rid of the air bubbles by tapping the baking tray on a surface.
Let it chill/set in the fridge for a few hours or overnight.
Optional step: Once the chocolate ganache sets, dust on a light layer of cocoa powder all over the surface and slice off the sides of the cake.
Slice the cake into equal pieces and serve. Enjoy!
