Once while bloghoping came to know about vegbowl and chanced to see this recipe. The picture looked so tempting that I wanted to try it out immediately. Since then I am regular to her blog to see her lovely clicks and posts.
When I heard that guests were turning home weekend, I made this for the first time and it turned out super tasty. The lil ones enjoyed every bite and I was happy seeing them 🙂 Not to mention about the elders too they were happily digging in and this is ammas most favourite. I dont like custard, but still this cake is an exception.
- Vanilla flavoured custard powder – 5 tbsp
- Milk – 3 cups
- Sugar – as required [I used 4 tsp]
- 50-50 or Krack Jack Biscuit – 1 packet [I used Krack Jack]
- Coffee decotion – 2 tbsp [optional but recommended]
- Chocolate / Choc Semiya / Choc Sauce – as required to cover the top layer
NOTE : If you are not familiar with making filter coffee decotion this is for you to make coffee decotion without filter :Take 1/4 cup hot water and add 1.5 tsp of instant coffee powder (Bru, Nescafe sunrise works best) and mix well.Use this as coffee decotion it to dip ur biscuits.It works almost like filter decotion.
Method:
1.In a small bowl add the custard powder to little milk and dissolve till the custard powder combines with milk into a smooth liquid without any lumps. Keep aside.[This step should be done with out keeping in stove] Keeping in low flame, heat the remaining milk , add sugar.
2.Now add the custard milk. Stir slowly, well and continuosly.The mixture gets thickened very fast so be very careful. Stir for 2-3 mins switch off and cool down. The consistency is little thicker, but still should be in flowing consistency as shown below. Now dip each biscuit for a second and arrange it in a square plate/tin and layer the base of the plate with krack jack biscuits dipped in coffee decotion for first layer.
3.Above the first layer spread a generous spoon of prepared custard then layer another set of biscuits dipped in coffee decotion.Repeat this with another layer then alternatively stack up with biscuits and custard. Build 3-4 layers repeating the same process.Then grate chocolate/ add chocolate sauce or readymade choc semiya(which is what I’ve done) over the top layer biscuits, covering up the whole cake.
4.Refrigerate it for few hours (about 2-3 hrs). Remove from the fridge about 5-10 minutes before serving.Cut into desired squares/pieces and serve immediately.
The crunch in the biscuits with the creamy custard…Yumm! Sure to be kids favourite too.
My Notes :
- The amount of custard in each layer purely depends on your choice. I liked mine just covered, if you like custard then add it more generously covering the biscuit layer completely.
- Build about 3-4 layers, not beyond that, as it will not hold shape making it hard to cut into desired square pieces.
- Tastes best when served immediately after taking it from the fridge.

hello Sharmi. i just stumbled upon ur blog.really lovely space…not to mention the awesome clicks and recipes
Sharmi if we prepare a day before and keep it in fridge and serve for the next day means will it be nice or we should prepare on the same day and keep it in fridge.
@Sudha : You can make it overnight and refrigerate and can serve the next day(but consume it the same day itself) as it will not keep well more than a day of making.
Wow.. This is soo simple and looks yummy.. Making this for my boy trow night to welcome 2012

Sharmi, i tried this one and it turned out so delicious. I used cocoa powder mixed with sugar instead of choco semiya and added it in between every biscuit layer on the custard. it gave a gud coffee punch to the tongue.
thanks really a lot for posting such lovely dishes. i will surely do this again for my family. next time a bigger batch of biscuits. 😉
yummy…bt 4m wer can i buy chocosemiya?
I got it from Nuts and Spices
