minutesFor countless generations across different cultures, biscuit puddings have established themselves as a core dessert option. Biscuit puddings originated as a practical recipe to make use of leftover biscuits or cookies. The combination of biscuits with creamy fillings led people to discover delicious ways to repurpose baked goods. The moist texture of the softened biscuits meld with the creaminess of the filling creates a comforting and indulgent experience. Our recipe takes the traditional biscuit pudding to new heights by blending it with mocha’s robust and fragrant taste. The rich coffee and chocolate flavors blend perfectly with the creamy buttery texture of the biscuits creating a balanced taste experience. This updated version of biscuit pudding turns a classic dessert into an extraordinary delight.
Ingredients
- For the Pudding
4 cups milk, divided (3 cups for heating, 1 cup for corn starch slurry)
9 tablespoons corn starch
1 cup heavy cream
¾ cup granulated sugar
5 tablespoons instant coffee powder
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- For Assembly
1 cup milk (for dipping biscuits)
20-25 Oreo biscuits, cream separated (use only the biscuit parts)
- For the Ganache
¾ cup chopped dark chocolate
¾ cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Prepare the Cornflour Slurry : To make the pudding, whisk together 1 cup of the milk and 6 Tbsp. of the corn starch in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth and no lumps remain. It’s really important that you do this step, as it will guarantee that your pudding has a nice smooth texture. Set the corn starch slurry aside.
- Make the Pudding Mixture: Whisk 3 cups milk, 1 cup heavy cream and ¾ cup granulated sugar together inside a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Set the saucepan on medium heat and stir intermittently until the sugar dissolves. Do not allow the mixture to boil.
Add both 5 tablespoons of instant coffee powder and 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder to the mixture. Whisk the mixture until the powders dissolve completely and mix well.
Add the cornflour slurry to the saucepan while stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Maintain medium heat and constantly stir until the mixture reaches the consistency of pudding. This should take about 5-7 minutes. The pudding reaches readiness when it sticks to the back of a spoon.
Take the saucepan off the burner and permit the pudding mixture to cool to room temperature while stirring intermittently to stop skin formation. - Assemble the Pudding : Prepare dipping solution by placing one cup of milk into a shallow dish.
Before placing Oreo biscuits into the milk make sure to remove the filling and only dip them briefly for a few seconds to prevent them from turning soggy. Arrange a single biscuit layer inside the bottom of a deep serving dish. Use about one third of biscuits for this first layer.
Evenly apply one third of the cooled pudding mixture to cover the biscuit layer completely.
Repeat this process twice more (another layer of milk dipped biscuits, and another layer of pudding mixture) to make three layers of biscuits and pudding mixture. - Prepare the Ganache : Put ¾ cup of chopped dark chocolate into a heatproof bowl. Heat ¾ cup heavy cream in a small saucepan until it begins to simmer (do not boil). Pour over chocolate and let sit for a minute to melt the chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is melted and the ganache is smooth and glossy. Let cool slightly, then spread evenly over the top layer of the pudding.
- Chill and Serve : Cover the serving dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the pudding to set completely and the flavors to meld.
When ready to serve, garnish with chocolate shavings, a dusting of cocoa powder, or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of elegance. Serve chilled for the best experience.
Tips and Variations
- Biscuit Choice: While Oreo biscuits add a unique chocolatey flavor, you can substitute them with other chocolate biscuits, digestive biscuits, or even Marie biscuits for a different texture and taste.
Coffee Intensity: Adjust the amount of instant coffee powder to suit your preference. For a stronger coffee kick, add an extra tablespoon; for a milder flavor, reduce it slightly.
Make it Vegan: To make this dessert vegan-friendly, use plant-based milk (such as almond or oat milk), vegan cream, and vegan-friendly biscuits and chocolate. Ensure all ingredients are free from dairy or animal products.
Add Texture: For a crunchy contrast, sprinkle chopped nuts like almonds, hazelnuts, or walnuts between the layers. You can also add crushed biscuits or chocolate chips for extra decadence.
Flavor Twists: Experiment with spices like a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg in the pudding mixture for a warm, aromatic note.
Serving Suggestions
Present the dish by layering biscuits and pudding in individual dessert glasses or ramekins before serving. Complete the presentation with whipped cream topping or garnish with chocolate shavings and cocoa powder sprinkles. Enjoy the dessert with hot coffee or espresso to complement the mocha tones and serve fresh berries alongside for a refreshing taste contrast. The pudding works great for dinner parties and potlucks or can be prepared in advance for family events.
