Custard Pudding with Coffee and Biscuits


Puddings,Souffles ,Custard…I love them all.There is something about these that makes me go weak in the knees.I am not such a big fan of these though,it is just the whole process of making it and waiting for it to set and then serving them chilled that thrills me..umm,no I am not crazy,if that is what you are thinking;-).

As Nigella says,some recipes sing to you and sang it did..when I saw Mallika of Veg Bowl’s recipe for Coffee Biscuit pudding,I knew I am gonna love it.I always stick to ma-in-law’s classic recipe for Biscuit pudding,but this was different.It used Krack-jack biscuits and coffee and custard and it sounded like such a great combination that I HAD to try it.

I absolutely love the burst of flavors in this.The slight tinge of salty taste mixed with coffee flavored biscuit layers with the custard sauce..just one word-awesome!!


Coffee Biscuit Custard Pudding
Recipe courtesy - Mallika

Ingredients

For the Custard

Milk – 1 packet, ½ litre
Vanilla flavoured Custard powder – 3 tbsp
Sugar – 3 tbsp

Mix custard powder with ¼ cup cold milk and boil the rest of the milk with sugar.
Add the custard paste when the milk boils,stir for a while till it starts thickening and leave to cool until just warm.

For layering the pudding

Krack Jack biscuit – 1 pack
Strong Coffee decoction – ½ cup

[the original recipe requires this to be set in a square cake tin but I used a round pudding bowl]

Layer the base of the pudding bowl with coffee soaked biscuits.
Spread a layer of custard over this.
On top of that again layer coffee soaked biscuits and then custard.
Continue with biscuit-custard for 3-4 layers.[not more than that since the custard won’t hold shape while serving]
Top with grated chocolate or cocoa and set in the refrigerator to chill for 3-4 hours.
Garnish with dry fruits or nuts.

  5. Zeb,coffee decoction is nothing but strong coffee.You could also use instant coffee powder and mix with half a cup of hot water to make coffee decoction for this pudding.Hope this clears your doubt!!

  18. Looks yummy.. I guess this is kind of similar to the biscuit pudding you have as the main ingredient in custard powder is corn-flour, so it is similar..

  30. Hi Divya - I tried this out today. However, I didn't use KrackJack biscuits as I normally don't eat those. Instead, I had a few animal crackers left and made the dish with that. It turned out great. I will post the photo later on my online album in FB. Thanks!
