Creamy Layered Delight: The Perfect No-Bake Biscuit Pudding Recipe

by

Instructions

🔸 

Step 1: Prepare the Vanilla Custard

  1. In a bowl, mix the custard powder (or cornstarch) with a few tablespoons of cold milk to make a smooth slurry.
  2. Heat the remaining milk and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat.
  3. Once warm, stir in the slurry, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
  4. Continue stirring over medium heat until the custard thickens (5–7 minutes).
  5. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla extract, butter, and cream (if using).
  6. Let it cool slightly while you prepare the chocolate layer.

🔸 

Step 2: Prepare the Chocolate Custard (Optional)

  1. Same method: Make a slurry of custard powder, cocoa powder, and a bit of milk.
  2. Heat the remaining milk and sugar in a saucepan.
  3. Add slurry to the milk, cook until thickened.
  4. Stir in chopped chocolate or chips until melted and smooth.
  5. Add vanilla and butter, stir well.

Skip this step if you’re making only vanilla custard.

🔸 

Step 3: Make the Whipped Cream (Optional)

  1. Using a cold bowl and beaters, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
  2. Refrigerate until ready to use.

🔸 

Step 4: Assemble the Pudding

  1. Lightly grease a 9×9-inch square dish or use a glass/ceramic dish for best presentation.
  2. Pour milk (with optional coffee or cocoa) into a shallow bowl.

🌟 Start Layering:

Layer 1: Biscuits

  • Dip biscuits quickly into the milk (don’t soak — just a second or two).
  • Lay a single layer of soaked biscuits on the base of the dish.

Layer 2: Vanilla Custard

  • Spoon a thick layer of the vanilla custard over the biscuits. Spread evenly.

Layer 3: Chocolate Custard (if using)

  • Add a layer of the chocolate custard on top of the vanilla layer.
  • Use a spatula to smooth it out evenly.

Repeat:

  • Continue layering: biscuits, vanilla, chocolate (or repeat the same flavor if using only one).
  • Aim for 3–4 layers, ending with a custard layer on top.

🔸 

Step 5: Top and Chill

  1. Spread whipped cream over the top for a creamy finish.
  2. Optional toppings:
    • Cocoa powder dusting
    • Grated chocolate or chocolate shavings
    • Crushed nuts (e.g., almonds or pistachios)
    • Biscuit crumbs
  4. Refrigerate for at least 4–6 hours, preferably overnight. The longer it chills, the better the flavor and texture.
