Creamy Layered Delight: No-Bake Biscuit Pudding
Ingredients:
For the biscuit layers:
- 2 packs of Marie biscuits or digestive biscuits
- 1/2 cup milk (for dipping)
- Optional: 1 tsp coffee or cocoa powder mixed into the milk for flavor
For the creamy custard:
- 2 cups milk
- 3 tbsp custard powder (vanilla or your choice)
- 4 tbsp sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup heavy cream or condensed milk (optional for extra creaminess)
For the chocolate layer (optional but amazing):
- 100g dark or milk chocolate, melted
- 1/4 cup cream (for a ganache-style topping)
Garnish (optional but recommended):
- Crushed biscuits
- Chopped nuts or grated chocolate
- A dusting of cocoa or cinnamon powder
Instructions:
1. Make the custard:
- Mix custard powder with a few tablespoons of milk to form a smooth paste.
- Heat the rest of the milk with sugar in a saucepan.
- Once warm, add the custard paste, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
- Cook until thickened (around 4–5 mins).
- Add vanilla and cream/condensed milk if using. Let it cool slightly.
2. Dip and layer the biscuits:
- Quickly dip each biscuit in the flavored milk (don’t soak too long!).
- Place a layer of dipped biscuits in a rectangular or square dish.
3. Layer the pudding:
- Pour a layer of custard over the biscuits and spread evenly.
- Repeat layers: biscuits → custard → biscuits → custard.
- Finish with a custard layer on top.
4. Optional chocolate topping:
- Mix melted chocolate and cream to make a smooth ganache.
- Pour over the top and spread gently.
5. Chill & Serve:
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight is best!).
- Top with crushed biscuits, nuts, or cocoa before serving.
Tips & Variations:
- Add a layer of sliced bananas or strawberries between the custard layers for fruity freshness.
- Use flavored biscuits (like chocolate or coffee) for a fun twist.
- Make it boozy with a dash of coffee liqueur in the milk.
