Biscuit Coffee Pudding

Recipe No: 180
This is an old fashioned steamed Pudding with a Coffee taste, which for me, is quiet addictive. It can also be baked and there are no fancy ingredients, making it easier to make. Biscuit here acts only as a thickening agent and when combined with the Eggs give a very peculiar texture.

Ingredients                                           Serves 8

• Milk……………………………2 Cups
• Sugar…………………………3/4 Cup
• Glucose Biscuits…………..5 no
• Instant Coffee Powder….1 ½ Tablespoons
• Eggs…………………………..3
• Vanilla Extract…………….1/2 Teaspoon

Method of Preparation

1. Beat the Eggs really good and keep them aside till ready to be used.
2. Heat Milk, Sugar and Coffee Powder together till the Sugar is melted.
3. Take ½ Cup of milk and soak the Biscuits. Keep them aside.
4. Once the milk is warm, mix in beaten Eggs, Vanilla Essence and the soaked Biscuits (together with the Milk).
5. Pour this into a mold (in which the Pudding has to be baked/steamed) through a strainer.
6. Cover the top with a foil and steam for 20-25 minutes or place it in a big pan with hot Water and bake in a 350˚F/ 180˚C preheated oven for 20 minutes or till it is done (an inserted toothpick will come out clean).
7. Once cooled, keep it in the refrigerator for 4-6 hours.
8. Cut it into desired shapes and serve cold after sprinkling with powdered Biscuit.

Notes:

• It is not necessary to boil the Milk or to cook the Eggs as it will be cooked together while steaming/ baking.
• I used Bru for the Coffee Powder and the measurement given is according to its strength. So change the amount of Coffee according to the strength of the Coffee Powder you are using.
• Make sure you cover the Pudding with a foil specially if you are steaming, otherwise vapor may fall back into the Pudding.
• It is very important to use a water bath if you are baking the Pudding. Place the pan with the Custard in a big baking pan with hot Water, filling half way up the smaller pan.
• The dark brown region of the Pudding is the top part and is formed due to the accumulation of the Coffee foam which adds to the appearance.
