No-bake cake is ready in no time and doesn't take much work.
This Greek mosaic variant of the "cold dog" is a particularly fast number.
Cakes that don't require us to fire up the oven are a great change.
But it doesn't have to be a light skyr cake for hot days, it can also be really sinful and chocolatey.
From childhood you may know the chocolate biscuit cake with the confusing name "cold dog".
Butter biscuits are alternately layered with a chocolate mass.
It's not complicated, but it does take some manual work.
The Greek Mosaic Cake is made with the same ingredients, just as delicious, but you skip the layering.
It's that easy:
Mosaic cake from Greece: You need these ingredients
for a loaf pan (25 x 11 cm):
300 grams of butter
397 g sweetened condensed milk
400 g butter biscuits
100 g slivers of almonds
6 tablespoons baking cocoa (this is the difference to drinking cocoa)
1 packet of vanilla sugar
0.5 tsp salt

Put the butter, the condensed milk, the baking cocoa powder, the vanilla sugar and a pinch of salt in a saucepan, mix everything and heat the mixture carefully.
Stir well so that everything combines into a homogeneous chocolate mass.
Roughly break up the butter biscuits and add them to the chocolate mixture along with the almond slivers.
Stir well again.
Then fill the chocolate biscuit mixture into a loaf tin lined with cling film and put the tin in the fridge overnight or in the freezer for a few hours if you want it to go a little faster.

As soon as the mass has hardened, you can lift the mosaic cake out of the tin with the cling film and cut into slices.
Wrapped in cling film again, the cake will keep in the freezer for several weeks and is a quick chocolate kick for those with a sweet tooth.
If you don't have a loaf tin at home, you can simply use the cling film to form a roll out of the chocolate biscuit mass and then put this chocolate roll in the fridge.
If you sprinkle the cake with grated coconut, chocolate shavings or icing sugar (you can make it yourself) before serving, or if you serve it with fresh fruit, it will be particularly delicious.
