Chocolate Ganache Biscuit Pudding !!

This is one of my childhood and all time favorites.  I’m a chocolate freak.  Anything with chocolate, I won’t think twice to grab.

Chocolate biscuit pudding, it’s nothing to bake; just chill before serve. I still remember I made this for the first time with the help of my mom.  I was only about 10 0r 11 years. It was for one of the church feasts.

I have seen many biscuit pudding recipes. But, this recipe is coming  from generation to generation, first from my grandmother to my mum then to me. 

Ingredients:

• 04 packs of Marie biscuits (400g)

 For cream in between each layer:

• 250g sugar
• 250g butter
• 04 eggs (Only Yorks)
• 1 ½ cup milk
• Vanilla
• Cocoa powder

For Chocolate Ganache:

• 500g semi melted cooking chocolate
• 500ml of heavy cream

100g cashews or almonds (Chopped and pan fry)

How to make:

• 1st make the cream and keep it aside to cool down.
• In a large bowl, beat sugar & butter. Once it creamy adds, egg yolks and beat them evenly.
• Finally add milk, cocoa powder, vanilla. (Make sure to boil the milk before adding)
• Beat the mixture even faster, until it gets a nice and creamy batter.

• Secondly, will layer the biscuits with cream.
• Additionally, keep 2 cups of milk to dip all the biscuits. (Do not dip all biscuits at once. Dip few at a time.)
• In a large bowl, apply some butter to seal the pudding to the bowl.
• In another bowl, add milk and 2 tbs of sugar and stir it properly. If necessary can be added a bit of rum.
•  Dip biscuits in milk mixture and layer it properly on the other bowl. (Just 1 or 2 layers)
• Then add a cream layer, then another biscuit layer. Keep repeating it.
• Once the layering is done, add the Chocolate ganache and finish the dish.
• Leave it aside to cool down. Then transfer into the refrigerator, and serve it cool.

• When it serves, garnish the pudding with some roasted crush nuts.

Making of Chocolate Ganache:

• Break the cooking chocolate into pieces, then double boil it.
• Add heavy cream into the same chocolate mixture and mix it properly.

• Finally, pour the chocolate ganache on top of the pudding, just to give the finish.

If you don’t have heavy cream and cooking chocolate for the ganache, here is a small tip for making ganache.
