Hello everybody, I am finally back after a break of 2 months.....my much needed break. We shifted our residence to our own new apartment, so I was kinda busy with my new home and settling down in the new locality. I apologize for the delay in answering queries and acknowledging comments from my readers and friends.
I have a confession to make.....this oh! so chocolatey pudding was made by my sis-in-law, vava. I just supervised helped her a little, like trying to take some pics with my nephews, nieces, and my kids hovering over it. Yes I admit I did not make this pudding, but sometimes I like to see others cook and this time I let in my sister-in-law, who is a great cook and though she is younger than me...I have learned a lot from her....ya, you never know from where you learn :) Remember my eggless pineapple pudding (which is the 3rd most popular recipe on this site..wow!), the sole owner of that pudding is my sis-in-law. So I hope you will enjoy this as much as I did.
That's the whole brood (my two brothers kids and mine) vacationing at Kovalam Beach, Kerala.
Now coming back to this pudding, its eggless, it has chocolate, butter, biscuit, and coffee.
Coffee+Chocolate=Heaven.
Dieters, please excuse me.....
Recipe source: Vanitha.
Ingredients:
Unsalted Butter: 100 gm/1 stick/1/2 cup.
Powdered Sugar: 100 gm.
Amul Cream: 1/4 cup.
Cocoa Powder: 100 gm.
Vanilla essence: 1 tsp.
Marie Biscuit: 150-200 gm.
Instant coffee: 2 tsp (I used nescafe).
Hot water: 1 cup.
50 gm of cashewnuts for sprinkling on top.
Method:
1. Mix instant coffee in hot water and keep aside to cool.
2. Cream butter and powdered sugar. Add cocoa and cream again.
3. Add whisked cream into it.
4. In a greased pudding dish (I prefer rectangle or square), dip biscuit in the coffee and layer on the base of the dish. Spread a layer of the cocoa mix on top of it. Again put another layer of coffee drenched biscuits, (you can also sprinkle some coffee in between for more added flavor). Likewise do this step till the cocoa cream comes on top.
Sprinkle some roasted cashewnuts on top.
Keep in refrigerator for 2 hours. Serve chilled preferably with a dash of chocolate sauce.
Enjoy!!
Hope you settled in new places. Looks delicious dessert.

Good to see you back and settled now. Learning process never stops and we learn from many sources throughout our life ..
ReplyDeleteDelicious dessert ..
Seems you had a fabulous vacation with everyone, glad to see you back with an irresistible pudding.
ReplyDeleteThis looks yummy! Besides for the chocolate and coffee combination YUMMY - I love the way you layered the pudding with the coffee soaked biscuits. I had a similar pudding with banana pudding and loved the biscuit pudding flavor and texture. So this pudding is definitely something I would love! And, how can it not be good with a whole stick of butter!?! :)
ReplyDeleteI love ur recipes. Ur brownies were a super duper hit at home... a bunch of awards waiting for u at my space... pls collect it

chechi i got a doubt wth the whipped cream.is that the same amul cream u mentioned ..
ReplyDeleteSeema-Thanks for the visit, and yes it is amul cream though it is a bit difficult to whisk it up as it is low fat; you can pour the cream into a bowl and keep the bowl over some ice cubes and whisk it up. Hope this helps or you can just lightly beat the cream and add to the mix...make sure you shake the packet well before opening or if you want the thick cream just open the packet without shaking and scoop the thick cream which probably would have come up and keep/refrigerated the thinner milk-like cream for gravies. Hope this helps and happy cooking.
DeleteHai nisa,i tried this today...it was very very yummy...so,in this snap who is the one holding that cute little baby....by the way,which is ur daughter.....
ReplyDeleteHi Shilpa, my daughter is the one holding the baby (cousin).
DeleteHi, Amazing receipe.Thanks for sharing. I was just wondering if it is okay to skip the coffee cause i dont like coffee. Is there any substitue or can i just do away with the coffee and follow the remaining of the receipe?
ReplyDeleteThanks in advance.
Regards,
Kavya N
Hi Kavya, thank u for stopping by ...about your query, you can skip the coffee though it does not give out much coffee flavor but does help to bring out the chocolate flavor.....still if you prefer, do away with the coffee....hope this helps.
DeleteThank you for the recipe. I put the butter out to thaw just now and wanted the measures. My sister used to make this pudding often. Sometimes she'd roll it into a log in aluminium foil. On occasions she would add a tablespoon of rum or whiskey to improve the flavour.
DeleteThanks again
This looks delicious, I will try it out. Thanks for the recipe.
