The pudding received a hearty welcome from kids & hubby. I assembled & allowed it to sit in the fridge overnight. What came after the resting period was a delectable treat !
A pudding thoroughly enjoyed !
Ingredients
- Vanilla Custard powder-3 tablespoons
- Krackjack biscuits – as required
- Milk-1/2 litre
- Sugar-3 tablespoons
- Coffee decoction to dip biscuits – 1/2 cup as required
Garnish/Toppings :- (any or all – as required)
- Chocolate Syrup/Chocolate Shavings/Cocoa Powder/Nuts
Here’s How :-
Take 1/4 cup milk and add 3 tablespoons of custard powder and mix well. Boil remaining milk with 3 tablespoons of sugar. Remove from flame, add the custard powder and let it simmer for a while till it thickens. Stir continuously to ensure custard does not get charred. Take it off flame when the custard is ready.Set aside till warm.
For the decoction , bowl a cup of water and drop 1-2 instant coffee powder sachets. Alternatively, if you have a Coffee Filter make a thick decoction using coffee powderand set aside.
For the layers of the pudding , grease the square tin/bowl lightly or alternatively line it with a layer of cling film and start laying down the biscuits dipped in coffee decoction. The biscuits need to be in the coffee mix only for a few seconds else it will become too soggy.Next take a generous amount of custard and spread it on top of the biscuits.Repeat again with coffee soaked biscuits – build 3-4 layers good enough for the shape to be retained.
Top it with Chocolate Syrup/Chocolate Shavings/Cocoa Powder. Refrigerate for three to four hours. Slice & Serve !
