Perfect No-Bake Biscuit Pudding Recipe

This easy, no-bake dessert is a beloved classic in many homes—creamy, comforting, and perfect for any occasion. It comes together in just 15 minutes of prep time, then chills to perfection.

Ingredients

For the Pudding:

· 2 cups whole milk
· 1 cup heavy cream
· ½ cup granulated sugar
· 3 tablespoons cornstarch
· 2 tablespoons cocoa powder (optional, for chocolate version)
· 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
· A pinch of salt

For Layering:

· 24–30 plain tea biscuits or digestive biscuits
· ½ cup strong coffee or chocolate milk (for dipping biscuits)
· Slicened fresh fruits if desired (bananas, strawberries)
· Chopped nuts (optional)

For Topping (optional):

· Whipped cream
· Chocolate shavings or sprinkles
· Crushed biscuits

Instructions

1. Prepare the Pudding Base:
   · In a saucepan, whisk together milk, cream, sugar, cornstarch, cocoa (if using), and salt until smooth.
   · Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon (about 8–10 minutes).
   · Remove from heat, stir in vanilla, and let cool slightly.
2. Assemble the Pudding:
   · Quickly dip each biscuit into coffee or chocolate milk (just a second per side—don’t soak).
   · Arrange a layer of biscuits in the bottom of a serving dish (8×8 inch or similar).
   · Spread a layer of pudding over the biscuits.
   · Add a layer of sliced fruit or nuts if using.
   · Repeat layers, ending with a creamy layer on top.
3. Chill:
   · Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
4. Serve:
   · Top with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or crushed biscuits before serving.

Tips for the Perfect Pudding:

· For a lighter version, use only milk (no cream) and reduce sugar slightly.
· Experiment with flavors: add cinnamon, instant coffee, or orange zest to the pudding.
· Let it chill thoroughly so the biscuits soften into a cake-like texture.

Enjoy your creamy, dreamy, no-bake treat!
