NO-BAKE CHOCOLATE CUSTARD DESSERT

by

INGREDENT

  • 200g (about 7 oz) digestive biscuits or graham crackers, crushed
  • 100g (7 tbsp) unsalted butter, melted
  • 500ml (2 cups) milk
  • 100g (½ cup) sugar
  • 3 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 100g (3.5 oz) dark or milk chocolate, chopped
  • Whipped cream (for topping)
  • Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base:
    • Mix the crushed biscuits with melted butter until combined.
    • Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a square or rectangular dish. Chill in the fridge while making the custard.
  2. Make the Chocolate Custard:
    • In a saucepan, whisk together cocoa powder, sugar, and cornstarch.
    • Gradually add milk while whisking to avoid lumps.
    • Place over medium heat and stir constantly until the mixture thickens (about 5–7 minutes).
    • Once thick, remove from heat and stir in chopped chocolate and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Assemble:
    • Pour the hot custard over the chilled biscuit base, smoothing the top with a spatula.
    • Let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until set.
  4. Serve:
    • Top with whipped cream and sprinkle with chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder.
    • Slice and enjoy your rich, creamy no-bake chocolate custard dessert!

If you’d like, I can also give you a layered version with a cream cheese middle for extra indulgence. That would make it even richer and bakery-style.
