I am going for a little trip back in time with this recipe. A treat my mum and granny used to give us as children.
This is a delicious custard cream flavoured with cocoa, and laying on a dry biscuit base.
The pudding will need to rest a bit in the fridge before serving. This would allow the custard to settle and the biscuits to become moist.
The ground cinnamon topping the pudding is perfect final touch.
I hope you will enjoy this recipe 😋
