Chocolate Biscuit Pudding

Gavin Ward

Report

This dessert is the most popular one I've ever posted, and no wonder! It's so simple to make, with layers of chocolate pudding and biscuits, and a sweet creamy topping. It's so good and utterly comforting.

Instructions

Place the water, powdered milk, flour, cocoa powder, and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium high heat.
Cook, stirring continuously until mixture thickens into a pudding, anywhere between 10-15 minutes- it takes a while! If it's bubbling too vigorously, you can reduce the heat a little.
Remove from the heat, and stir in the butter until melted. Set aide the pan of chocolate pudding to cool.
Meanwhile, mix together the thick cream and condensed milk in a separate bowl and set aside.
Assemble the dessert by spreading the chocolate pudding in the base of a pyrex pan (9x9 by 11x7inches).
Add a layer of tea biscuits that covers the pudding, you might need to break some pieces to get them to fit.
Top with the cream mixture, spreading to evenly cover the biscuits.
Garnish with flaked chocolate or cocoa powder and refrigerate until set, 4 hours or overnight.

Recipe tips:
Storing leftovers:
Leftover pudding will last tightly covered in the fridge for 4-5 days. I wouldn't recommend freezing it.
Powdered milk: In theory, you could substitute the water and powdered milk with an equal amount of milk, but I haven't tried it.

All purpose flour substitution: If you want to use cornstarch, add half the amount.

Cocoa powder: Dutch processed and natural cocoa powder both work Thick cream or table cream: This is for the layer of cream that tops the pudding. In the Middle East, I commonly use thick cream or canned cream. In the US this is known as table cream. Alternately, you can use creme fraiche, whipped cream, mascarpone cheese, anything else you like! Sweetened condensed milk: You can also use an equal amount of icing/powdered sugar.

Keep stirring the pudding while it cooks so you don't burn the bottom. It will take a while to thicken. Break up the biscuits so they form a single layer in the pan, if you need to fill in little areas around the edges. Chill thoroughly before serving so the chocolate biscuit pudding really has time to set. You can make little individual portions of pudding instead of the sharing dish.
