Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Biscuits: 1 large pack Marie, Digestive, or Parle-G
  • Milk: 500ml 2 cups
  • Custard Powder: 2 tablespoons Vanilla flavor
  • Sugar: 4 tablespoons
  • Coffee/Milk for dipping: ½ cup warm milk or mild coffee decoction
  • Topping: Chocolate shavings or crushed nuts

Method
 

  1. Prepare Custard: Mix custard powder with ¼ cup cold milk to make a smooth paste. Boil the remaining milk with sugar. Once boiling, stir in the custard paste and whisk continuously for 2 minutes until thick. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  2. Dip Biscuits: Quickly dip a biscuit into the warm milk (or coffee) for just 1-2 seconds. Do not let it get soggy.
  3. Layer 1: Arrange a layer of dipped biscuits at the bottom of a glass dish.
  4. Layer 2: Pour a generous layer of the warm custard over the biscuits and spread evenly.
  5. Repeat: Add another layer of dipped biscuits, followed by another layer of custard. Repeat until the dish is full.
  6. Garnish: Sprinkle chocolate shavings, cocoa powder, or crushed biscuits on the top layer.
  7. Set: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the layers firm up.

Notes

  • The "Dip" Rule: The most important part is the dip. If you dip the biscuits for too long, the pudding will become mushy. A quick "in-and-out" dip is perfect.
  • Coffee Twist: Using a mild coffee solution for dipping the biscuits gives it a "Tiramisu-lite" flavor that adults love.
  • Fruit Layer: For extra freshness, you can add a layer of sliced bananas or strawberries between the custard and biscuits.
