Biscuit Pudding
While doing winter de-cluttering and organising, I
found a few packs of biscuits. Although biscuits do not tend to get wasted, I
wanted to try some dish with them. I chose biscuit pudding and when looking up
recipes, I learned that it is rather popular in SriLanka. I have adapted Tarla
Dalal’s recipe here...
Note:
1. some people who do not like coffee may prefer to have he biscuits dipped in milk rather than coffee
2. replace dark chocolate with milk chocolate if you prefer
12 Rich tea biscuits or Marie biscuits
1 tablespoon instant coffee powder
5 tablespoon sugar
3 tablespoon custard powder
1 ½ cups milk plus 3 tablespoon milk
100g dark chocolate, melted
Grated nuts for garnish
Dissolve coffee powder in hot water. You need
enough water to quickly dip the biscuits in it. Dip the biscuits very briefly
then break them into pieces and put in individual serving bowls
Dissolve the custard powder in 3 tablespoon milk
Heat the rest of the milk until it is just about
to boil. Now add the dissolved custard powder and make sure you stir well. Cook
on low flame until it coats the back of the spoon.
Now add the sugar and melted chocolate and stir
well. It will thicken but still be of pouring consistency.
Pour this on the biscuit and garnish with chopped
nuts
