Ingredients:
This rich gooey chocolaty dessert is just what you would be looking for when you don't have too much time on your hands and want something that is quick to fix, required minimal effort and tasted like a dream.This is one dessert that is not only really quick and simple, but also cost - effective, with most of the main ingredients - bread, biscuits and custard powder found easily in most households.
The traditional way to make the custard includes egg yolks, milk or cream, and vanilla, but this custard recipe can be made in a jiffy using custard powder. ( I used Brown and Polson's vanilla custard powder). For best results, make a day ahead and refrigerate.
Ingredients
24 Marie biscuits
