Ingredients You’ll Need
For a classic no-bake biscuit pudding, the following ingredients will give you a rich, creamy dessert that everyone will love:
For the Biscuit Layers:
- 2 cups plain biscuits (digestive biscuits or any other plain biscuits) – These serve as the base and the layers of your pudding. Digestive biscuits are commonly used for their lightness and flavor, but you can use any simple biscuits you like.
- ½ cup milk (whole or semi-skimmed) – Used to soften the biscuits so they absorb the creamy pudding filling.
- 2-3 tablespoons sugar – To sweeten the milk and add a touch of flavor to the biscuits.
For the Creamy Pudding Filling:
- 1 cup heavy cream (or double cream) – This provides the rich, creamy texture.
- 1 cup milk – To balance the cream and make the pudding filling smooth.
- ½ cup sugar – Sweetens the pudding, so it’s not too rich.
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch (cornflour) – Used to thicken the pudding mixture to the right consistency.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract – Adds depth and flavor to the pudding.
- A pinch of salt – Helps balance the sweetness and enhances the flavor.
For Garnishing:
- Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder – To sprinkle over the top for an elegant finish.
- Chopped nuts (optional) – Walnuts or almonds for added crunch and flavor.
- Fresh fruit (optional) – Such as strawberries or banana slices to add a fresh touch to the dessert.
