Ingredients 

This no bake easy dessert recipe is the perfect quick fix for any occasion. 

All the ingredients required for this Eggless Chocolate Biscuit Pudding recipe are everyday pantry staples that we all use in our household. Milk, cornflour, sugar, coffee powder, boiled water and biscuits. I have used McVities Digestive Biscuits because they tend to soak up the coffee syrup better than other biscuits. But feel free to use any biscuits that are available in your kitchen. 

Ideal texture of a pudding 

A pudding is known to be velvety and smooth. That is why it is important to make sure that there are no lumps in your mixture while cooking the base of the pudding. 

Each spoonful of the pudding should give you a smooth, creamy and velvety texture. Even though there are many ready to eat pudding mixtures available in the market now, nothing can beat the deliciousness of the pudding you make from scratch. It involves the same time and effort and tastes much better. 

What is a biscuit pudding?

A biscuit pudding is basically a dessert which has layers of biscuits and pudding/custard. You can use any biscuit that you have or want for a biscuit pudding. Soak the biscuits in desired flavour syrup to enhance the flavour of the pudding. For this no bake dessert recipe I have soaked the digestive biscuits in a coffee syrup.

Tips for making the Eggless Chocolate Pudding

• To get the best flavour, it is important to soak the biscuits nicely in the coffee syrup. This is what enhances the flavour of the pudding.
  
• To make the chocolate pudding, you need to use a thickening agent. I have added cornflour to the milk. It is very important to mix well to make sure there are no lumps when you mix in the cornflour in the milk. 
  
• While adding in the cocoa powder, it is again very important to mix it really well. Cocoa powder always creates lumps when added to a liquid. To make sure you have a smooth pudding, mix it in really well. For this I have mixed the cocoa powder in half a cup of milk and made it into the paste and then mixed it into the milk. 
  
• Once the pudding is layered, allow it to rest for 6-8 hours to ensure the best flavours and look. But if you do not have much time, refrigerate it for 3 hours or until set. 
  
• Before allowing the pudding to rest and cool, cover it with a cling film. Make sure it touched the surface of the pudding. This will prevent another layer being formed on top.
