Instructions
-
Prepare the Pudding:
-
- In a bowl, mix 150 g pudding powder and 200 g sugar with half of the 800 ml milk. Stir well.
- Place the mixture in a saucepan over low to medium heat, and add the remaining half of the milk.
- Continuously mix until it thickens. Once thickened, remove it from the heat and transfer to another container.
- Cover the pudding with plastic wrap (directly on the pudding to prevent a skin from forming) and let it cool.
-
-
Prepare the Whipped Cream:
-
- In a separate bowl, whip 300 ml cold whipping cream until it thickens.
- Once the pudding has cooled, add the whipped cream to the pudding and mix everything well until fully combined. You can use a mixer for this.

Assemble the Cake:
-
- Optionally, soak the biscuits in 100 ml milk to soften them.
- Arrange the soaked biscuits in a tray to form the first layer.
- Spread half of the prepared cream over the biscuits and smooth it out.
- Add the second layer of soaked biscuits and top with the remaining cream.
- Finish by adding the last layer of biscuits.
- Refrigerate the cake for 1-2 hours to set.

Prepare the Chocolate Icing:
-
- In a small pan, melt 200 g chocolate with 2-3 tablespoons of milk (about 50 ml). Mix well until smooth.
-
-
Finish the Cake:
-
- After refrigerating, remove the cake from the fridge and pour the melted chocolate icing over the top.
- Allow the icing to set before serving.

Serve and Enjoy:
