Origin of Chocolate Biscuit Pudding

Most of us can trace the memory of chocolate biscuit pudding in our childhood. Our mom, aunt, some relative or friend use to get these decadent treats around teatime. They were fancy and irresistible to our naive taste buds in the '80s and '90s. But does this dessert have any history?

Well, if you deep dive into it our beloved chocolate biscuit pudding is very similar to Chocolate Salami, a traditional Portuguese dessert. Italians also claim that the dessert originated in Italy with little alcohol in it. It is called Salame di cioccolato in Italy.

From research, you can trace that Chocolate Salami got popularity in Portugal. From Portugal, the dessert spread all over Europe during the communist era, especially in Uraguay, Romania, Russia, Greece, and even Turkey. In Turkey, it is called Mosiac Cake.

The pudding reached Sri Lanka during the British colonial Era and got so popular it became native to Sri Lankans. A similar version of this pudding is popular in Pakistan and called Chocolate Cold Cake.

You won't imagine you can develop delicious chocolate flavor with just a few ingredients. Scroll down to check the photo tutorial and you will be convinced to make it right away.

What else can be added in this dessert?

Dried fruit, berries, cherries, chocolate chips or chocolate chunks can made an excellent additions to this dessert.

Can I used any other cookie that is in hand?

Yes, wheat biscuits, caramel biscuits, Oreo, glucose, lotus biscoff biscuits could make a good switch. Just reduce sweetened condensed milk if your biscuit is already sweet.  

Can I substitute that raw egg?

The raw egg won't make the dessert smell like an egg as the cocoa flavor is overpowering. I can promise that. We eat raw eggs all the time in homemade mayonnaise. If that still doesn't convince you then you can substitute it with ½ cup cream. If you do not have cream in hand then substitute with 4 tablespoons of milk.
