Step 1: Prepare the Custard
-
In a medium saucepan, pour 400 ml of milk.

Add sugar and heat gently until warm (do not boil).
-
In a small bowl, mix the remaining 100 ml milk with cornflour until smooth.
-
Slowly pour the cornflour mixture into the warm milk while whisking continuously.

Remove from heat and add vanilla extract. Allow it to cool slightly.
Step 2: Layer the Biscuits

Take your baking dish or pudding bowls.
-
Arrange a single layer of Digestive biscuits at the bottom.

Pour a layer of custard over the biscuits to cover them.

Repeat: add another layer of biscuits, then custard.
-
Finish with a final custard layer on top.
Step 3: Chill and Set
-
Cover the dish with plastic wrap.
-
Refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours to allow the custard to set and the biscuits to soften.
Step 4: Serve

Optionally, sprinkle grated Chocolate or chopped Nuts on top before serving.
-
Serve chilled as a delicious dessert or snack.
Tips
-
For extra flavor, dip the biscuits briefly in milk or coffee before layering.
-
You can add Berries between layers for a fruity twist.
-
This dessert is best eaten within 24 hours for the freshest taste.
If you want, I can also make a fancier version with 3 distinct flavored layers so it looks like a restaurant-style pudding. Do you want me to do that?
