Tips & Variations
- For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the cocoa sauce while heating.
- Use chocolate cookies instead of Marie biscuits for a richer taste.
- Add a layer of chopped nuts or grated chocolate between biscuit layers for added texture.
- If you prefer a creamier pudding, mix a little condensed milk into the cocoa sauce.
Storage
Store biscuit pudding covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep it chilled to maintain its texture. To serve after storage, simply slice and enjoy cold—reheating is not recommended as it may soften the biscuits too much.

Ingredients
For the Biscuit Pudding
- 200 grams Marie biscuits or cookies
- 2 cups (480 ml) milk
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
- Heat the Cocoa Milk Sauce: In a saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, cocoa powder, and butter. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring continuously until the sugar dissolves and the butter melts completely. Bring it to a gentle simmer, then remove from heat.
- Layer the Biscuits: Pour a small amount of the warm cocoa sauce into the base of a serving dish. Quickly place a layer of Marie biscuits over the sauce, then spoon more cocoa sauce on top to coat the biscuits.
- Repeat Layers: Continue layering biscuits and cocoa sauce alternately, finishing with a layer of the cocoa sauce on top.
- Chill to Set: Cover the dish and refrigerate the biscuit pudding for at least 3-4 hours, or until set and chilled through. This allows the biscuits to soften and absorb the cocoa milk sauce, creating a pudding-like texture.
- Slice and Serve: Once chilled, slice the pudding into squares or rectangles and serve cold as a delightful dessert.
Notes
- Use Marie biscuits or any plain tea biscuits for the best texture.
- For added flavor, sprinkle nuts or chocolate shavings between layers.
- Adjust the sugar to your taste.
- Ensure the milk is not too hot when pouring over the biscuits to avoid sogginess.
- Store leftover pudding covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
