What I really like about this cake is the texture; after quickly dipping the biscuits in the coffee solution and leaving the cake overnight to absorb the cream and Nescafe, the cake becomes very soft and the texture really makes me feel like I’m eating a cloud made with Nescafe and cream. This is truly incredible!

No Bake, Easy Coffee Biscuit Cake
This Is All What You’ll Need
You’re in business if you have ten minutes, tea biscuits, whipped cream, sweet condensed milk, some Nescafé, and cocoa powder.
Each ingredient contributes to the delectable flavors of this decadent dessert. The coffee balances the sweetness, the cream softens the biscuits, and the biscuits have a flaky texture that distinguishes this dessert!
Nescafe or instant coffee powder: You need nescafe dissolved in hot water to dip the biscuits in.
Heavy whipping cream: Heavy whipping cream adds a creamy texture to the cake.
Sweetened condensed milk: Condensed milk is used to sweeten the cream mixture. You can also substitute powdered sugar.
Vanilla extract: Just add a tiny splash for a hint of flavor in the cream.
Tea biscuits: I use Ulker tea biscuits. You can find it at most middle eastern or international markets and on Amazon.
Cocoa Powder: Cocoa powder adds the final decorative touch to your cake.
Ulker Biscuits Are my Favorite
Why Use Nescafe?
If you want your cake to be bursting with flavor, use instant coffee or Nescafe to achieve this aromatic and deep yet refreshing coffee flavor. Instant coffee granules preserve the strong flavor of coffee beans while ensuring that the coffee powder is thick and ready to use immediately.
The condensed milk, whipped cream, and tea biscuits that go into making the Nescafe no-bake cake make it more on the sweet side; however, your instant coffee or Nescafe is really bitter. This one-of-a-kind combination of bitter and sweet flavors will result in a divine fusion of contrasting flavors.
A Great Last Minute Recipe
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
Sure you can. This no bake Nescafé cake tastes even better the next day.
Ladyfingers or digestives can be substituted for tea biscuits, but the flavor and texture of Ulker biscuits is my favorite.
If you don’t want to use sweetened condensed milk, add some powdered sugar to the whipped cream.
You can store nescafe cake leftovers in an air-tight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
Top Tips
- You can add crushed pistachios to the cake layers or to the top of the cake for a Middle Eastern touch. The crushed pistachios will also give the cake a lovely color.
- You can top the cake with desiccated coconut for an added crunch and coconut flavor.
- You can change the ratio of biscuits to cream; if you prefer the taste and texture of biscuits, alternate with a double biscuit layer.
- You don’t have to use Nescafe; any other brand will suffice.
- If you soak the biscuits in coffee too long, they will fall apart while you’re assembling them. Just a quick dip in the coffee mixture, then layer them.
- Chilling this cake in the fridge will give it a wonderful set texture and the coffee flavor will really permeate the biscuits.

OMG! This is my new favorite dessert. SOOO GOOD
Really delicious.
🎉 YES!
this looks so delicious. Can nuts be added like hazelnuts? If yes, in which part can i incorporate the nuts? Thanks in advance!
Sure, you can add nuts and crushed would be ideal! You can add them in between each layer and on top!
Such an easy yet delicious dessert that’s perfect when you need something in a pinch!
Made this twice last week and couldn’t have enough of it! My absolute favorite dessert now especially that the weather is getting hotter
5 stars for this one!!! Incredibly delicious, super easy to make, and perfect for hot days
This is my kids new favorite dessert! It also doesn’t take much time to whip up. Thank you
Hi can I use ordinary cream ?
Hi Jan, yes you sure can! Cool Whip for example will work too.
Do you think this would work as a frozen dessert ? It’s similar to a tiramisu and I’ve seen tiramisu type desserts at the grocery store in the freezer section.
Yes it would! It would simply turn into a No Bake Nescafe ice cream cake. Just allow it to thaw for a good 10 minutes before cutting through. Genius idea 🙂
I made this minus the sweetened condensed milk and it is great. Also added layers of sliced bananas. scrumptious!
Hi Laura! Thank you so much for sharing that. Interesting! How did you go about sweetening the cream?
