Both my grandmas, Grandma Betty and Grandma Rose, were awesome cooks. Grandma Betty’s 40-year-old recipe diaries have been haphazardly stapled together over the years to form our beloved family recipe book. My mom has perfected many of those recipes, especially the chocolaty Danish Pudding, which I often make.
Ingredients for a four-person serving:
20 homemade butter biscuits
3/4 cup cocoa powder
1 cup double cream
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup freshly ground coffee decoction
4 ceramic/glass bowls
Method:
Make biscuits with 1 cup butter, 1 cup powdered sugar and 2 cups flour.
Gently mix and shape into rectangles, and bake using a buttered baking tray for 15 mins at 180 degree C.
To make the chocolaty goodness, gently heat the double cream in a non-stick saucepan, while stirring continuously, until it begins to simmer.
Take the saucepan off the stove and whisk the cocoa powder and sugar into the double cream.
Once the mixture cools, it will automatically thicken.
Soak the biscuits in the coffee decoction and coat the bowls with alternate layers of soaked biscuits and the chocolate mixture.
Chill in fridge for three hours and voila, you’ll have the Danish pudding that dates its origin back to my grandma’s kitchen!
