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
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.
- 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.
