Move over, buttercream icing- this iconic Sri Lankan dessert just got a makeover! My Chocolate Biscuit Pudding is made with layers of silky chocolate mousse and milk-dipped Marie biscuits. It’s rich, fluffy, and melts in your mouth with every bite!
Melt the chocolate- Put a pan of water to boil. Put the cooking chocolate on a bowl slightly bigger than the pan and Keep on top of the pan. Once it starts to melt whisk and let all the chocolate melt. Quickly whisk in the egg yolks and set aside to cool.
Whip the cream- Beat the whipping cream until it’s slightly thick. Gently fold in the cooled chocolate mixture.
Make the base mixture- In another bowl, cream the butter with half the sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the chocolate-cream mixture and cocoa powder. Mix the instant coffee powder with 1 tablespoon warm water and it to the mix. Mix well.
Whip egg whites- Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gradually add the remaining sugar and fold into the chocolate mixture.
Assemble the pudding- Dip each Marie biscuit in milk and layer them at the bottom of your serving dish. Spread a generous layer of the chocolate mixture over the biscuits and sprinkle some chopped nuts on top. Repeat the layers, ending with a thick layer of the chocolate mixture on top.
Chill- Refrigerate the pudding for a couple of hours or overnight for best results.
Notes
Chocolate and coffee go hand in hand. For a richer flavor, dissolve 1 tablespoon of instant coffee powder in 1 teaspoon of warm water and add it to the batter along with the chocolate mixture. Mix well to combine.
If you prefer to skip the egg whites, simply add an extra 1/4 cup of whipping cream to the mixture instead.
