No-Bake Cookie Cake takes the classic no-bake cookie and turns it into a cake!
My son’s birthday was a last month. When I asked him what he wanted for dessert on his birthday he said that he wanted a no-bake cookie cake.
I was not sure exactly what he meant so I asked him a few questions.
He said he wanted me to make my no-bake cookie recipe and turn it into a cake.
I have made no-bake cookies into a bar with my no-bake cookie bar recipe but wasn’t sure how it would work as a cake. I had never seen it made into a cake recipe, but I was willing to give it a try.
My daughter has a peanut allergy so instead of using the classic no-bake cookie recipe I used my Peanut Butter Free No-Bake Cookie Recipe.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup butter
- ½ cup milk
- 4 tablespoons cocoa
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups quick oats ( for gluten-free version use gluten-free quick oats)
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips
INSTRUCTIONS
- Bring the first four ingredients to a boil.
- Cook for 1 minute.
- Add vanilla, oatmeal, and chocolate chips, and stir until combined and the chocolate chips have melted.
- Pour into a round cake pan. A 9-inch or 10-inch pan works great. (If you are going to serve this on a cake platter or plate, line the pan with parchment paper to make removing from pan easier.)
- Refrigerate until firm.
- Cut into pieces and serve.
- These will keep in the refrigerator for several days.
