Chocolate Biscuit Pudding

My mind is blank… Today I have no musings or craziness to share with you.  Maybe that’s a good thing. Don’t want to scare you off with all my crazy talk J so let’s just dive straight into today’s yummy recipe.  If you are searching for an easy dessert recipe, then look no further. This chocolate biscuit pudding is a perfect choice. It is so simple to prepare, the ingredients are stuff you’d usually already have in your pantry and the good thing is that it can be prepared a day ahead making it a perfect choice for entertaining guests. 

The actual recipe from Ria’s Collection is perfect as is. I do variations of it each time I make it. The one I’m posting here today has butterscotch custard topping instead of Ria’s whipped cream layer. There are so many ways you could do this and still be sure it would come out tasting awesome every time. You just can’t go wrong with this J

I just used store bought butter scotch custard. If you don’t have any custard or whipped cream handy just do the biscuit and chocolate layers and forget the 3^rd layer and still get a yummy dessert. Like I said, the possibilities are endless!
