The good old marie biscuit layered with the ever decadent chocolate whipped cream, caramel and chocolate chips.
Ingredients
For layering
- 250 grams Marie biscuits, or nearly 50 biscuits
- 2 tbsp instant coffee
- 1 cup hot water
- ½ cup caramel, optional
- ½ cup chocolate chips, optional
For the chocolate whipped cream
- 2 cups heavy cream
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large chilled bowl, add all the ingredients for the chocolate whipped cream and beat on medium speed until soft peaks are formed.
- In another bowl, add instant coffee and 1 cup hot water to it. Mix well.
- Briefly dip each marie biscuit in the coffee mixture.
- Arrange these coffee soaked biscuits in a dish to make the first layer.
- Spread the chocolate whipped cream on the biscuits as a thick second layer.
- Spread some caramel and chocolate chips on the whipped cream. This is optional.
- Repeat the layering process starting with the biscuits.
- The final layer should be of whipped cream. Sprinkle some cocoa powder or even nuts on the top (optional). Refrigerate atleast for 4 hours or better overnight.
- Serve chilled topped with some chocolate syrup.
Notes
- While making the whipped cream, make sure that the beaters and the bowl is chilled.
- It is not necessary to beat the cream until stiff peaks.
- If you are using whipping cream in place of heavy cream, then alter the sugar according to taste as whipping cream contains some sugar in it.
- Do not soak the marie biscuits in the coffee mixture. a brief dip will do.
- You can spread the whipped cream as a thick or a thin layer on the biscuits.
- Using caramel and chocolate chips is completely optional. You can use anything of your choice or even use chopped nuts.
- The final layer should always be the whipped cream.
- You can top the pudding with cocoa powder (as I did) or even chocolate chips or nuts.
- Refrigerate the pudding atleast for four hours before serving.
- You can serve with some melted chocolate too.
