I have followed the same recipe with some minor changes. dont skip coffee decotion .I have used krack jack biscuits for same.
Ingredients:
Vanilla flavoured custard powder - 3 tbsp
Milk - 1.5 - 2 cups
Sugar - as required [I used 6 tsp]
50-50 or Krack Jack Biscuit - 1 packet [I used Krack Jack]
Coffee decotion - 2 tbsp [optional but recommended]
Chocolate shavings / Choc Semiya / Choc Sauce - as required to cover the top layer ( i used grated chocolate)
Method:
1.mix the custard powder to little milk in a little bowl and dissolve stirring with spoon /whisk till the custard powder combines with milk into a smooth liquid without any lumps. Keep aside.[This step should be done with out keeping on stove] Keeping in low flame, heat the remaining milk , add sugar.
2.Now add the custard milk. Stir slowly, well and continuosly.The mixture gets thickened very fast so be careful. Stir for 2-3 mins switch off and cool down. The consistency is little thicker, but still should be in flowing consistency as shown below.
3.dip each biscuit for a second and arrange it in a square plate/tin and layer the base of the plate with krack jack biscuits dipped in coffee decotion for first layer.3.Above the first layer spread a generous spoon of prepared custard then layer another set of biscuits dipped in coffee decotion.Repeat this with another layer then alternatively stack up with biscuits and custard. Build 3-4 layers repeating the same process.Then grate chocolate/ add chocolate sauce or readymade choc semiya over the top layer biscuits, covering up the whole cake.
4.Refrigerate it for few hours (about 2-3 hrs). Remove from the fridge about 5-10 minutes before serving.Cut into desired squares/pieces and serve immediately.
Tips
- The amount of custard in each layer purely depends on your choice.i added generously covering the biscuit layer completely.If you like just covered than use custard quantity accordingly
- make 3-4 layers, not beyond that, as it will not hold shape
- Tastes best when served immediately after taking it from the fridge.
- How to make coffee decotion without filter :Take 1/4 cup hot water and add 1.5 tsp of instant coffee powder (Bru, Nescafe sunrise works best) and mix well.Use this as coffee decotion it to dip ur biscuits.It works almost like filter decotion.
