Rich Tea Biscuit Pudding / Marie Biscuit Pudding

Ingredients:

• Rich Tea Biscuit / Marie Biscuit 300g (If you like to have more biscuits in your pudding like me this could vary, can add another 50g )
• Butter 200g
• Caster sugar 400g
• Large Eggs 2 ( Separate the yolks and the whites but we will be using them both )
• Cocoa Powder 4 Tbsp 
• Milk 6 Tbsp 
• Brewed Coffee 1 cup (Warm)
• Vanilla 2 Tsp
• Chocolate Liqueur or Amerrito 1 Tbsp (Optional) 
• Roasted Cashew nuts 50g (for garnishing) 

Directions (Serves 12) :

Pudding Mixture:

1. Beat the butter and sugar in a bowl until well combined and form a creamy texture.
2. Add the egg yolks to the mixture one at a time while beating the mixture.
3. Add Vanilla essence and Amerrito to the mixture and beat for about 1 minute.
4. In a separate bowl beat the two egg whites until they form stiff peaks.
5. In a Sauce Pan over a low flame add the milk and cocoa powder and mix till they are well combined into a smooth paste free of any lumps (Make sure the mixture is not burnt, this will only take one minute or less).
6. Add the above chocolate paste to the bowl with egg whites and whisk for about 1-2 minutes, until they are well incorporated.
7. Then fold in the above mixture to the creamed butter and sugar mixture prepared in step 1-3 above.

Assembly:

1. Take a bowl with around 2-3 inch depth and soak each biscuit in the warm coffee for about 2 seconds (make sure the biscuit are not too soggy and fall apart, the biscuit still need to have some crunch to it) and lay them to cover the bottom of the bowl. 
2. Then add a layer of the pudding mixture over the soaked biscuit layer.
3. Repeat the above two steps until you have used up all the biscuits and the pudding mixture. Just make sure you finished the top most layer with the pudding mixture instead of a biscuit layer.
4. Refrigerate the pudding for at least 6 hours, or ideally overnight.

Tip: When assembling the pudding you can add roasted cashew on top of each layer of the pudding mixture (I love cashews so I was a bit heavy handed on the cashew, but it is totally optional and up to your own preference).

This is my all time favourite, no bake biscuit pudding recipe, which I can devour all by myself. Hope you all will love it as much as I do.

P.S This is certainly not for those of you who are counting calories. There are simply too many to count :D
