Layered Chocolate and Regal Biscuit Pudding
Ingredients
- 1 packet chocolate Nutrijel
- 1/2 packet plain agar-agar
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 100g DCC
- 200ml liquid whipped cream
- 1 egg yolk
- 500ml water
- 1 large pack Regal biscuits
Custard sauce
- 200ml milk
- 25g cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (dissolved)
- 1 egg yolk
Preparation
Arrange the Regal biscuits in a 20cm diameter pan and set aside
In a pot, cook the chocolate Nutrijel, plain agar-agar, water, and cocoa powder over medium heat until bubbles start to appear
Temper the egg yolk by pouring a little of the hot mixture into it, mix well, then add it back to the pot
Add the DCC, stir briefly, then add the whipped cream and stir again
Once it boils, turn off the heat and let it cool until the steam dissipates and it thickens
Pour the pudding mixture over the Regal biscuits in the pan
Arrange another layer of Regal biscuits, then pour more pudding mixture over it and wait for a skin to form before pouring to prevent sinking
Repeat the layering until all pudding mixture is used
Cool and serve with the custard sauce
Custard sauce

Tips

Waiting for the pudding to form a skin helps avoid the biscuits sinking
