Chocolate Biscuit Pudding Recipe
Introduction
Biscuit pudding is a simple, no-bake dessert that combines the crunch of tea biscuits with a rich, sweet cocoa-infused milk mixture. It’s perfect for a quick treat that requires minimal effort but delivers comforting flavors.
Ingredients
- Tea biscuits (enough for 3-4 layers)
- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
Instructions
- Step 1: Layer the tea biscuits evenly in the bottom of a serving dish to form the base layer.
- Step 2: In a saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, and cocoa powder. Heat gently while stirring until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is well blended; do not boil.
- Step 3: Pour the warm sweet milk mixture over the biscuit layer, ensuring all biscuits are soaked.
- Step 4: Repeat the layering with more biscuits and pour the milk mixture over again, creating 3-4 layers total.
- Step 5: Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until the pudding sets and the biscuits have softened.
Tips & Variations
- For added flavor, sprinkle a little cinnamon between layers or add a splash of vanilla extract to the milk mixture.
- Use chocolate or flavored tea biscuits for a different taste profile.
- If you prefer a thicker pudding, add a teaspoon of cornstarch to the milk mixture and cook until slightly thickened before pouring over biscuits.
Storage
Store biscuit pudding covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It is best enjoyed chilled. When reheating, it’s recommended to serve it cold or at room temperature as the texture may change with heat.

FAQs
Can I use any kind of biscuits?
Tea biscuits are recommended as they soften nicely without becoming too mushy, but you can try other plain biscuits or ladyfingers for different textures.
How long should I chill the pudding?
Chilling for at least 3 hours allows the biscuits to absorb the milk mixture and the pudding to set properly, but overnight chilling will improve the flavor and texture even more.
