Chocolate Coffee Pudding.

Hello everybody.

Saw this interesting recipe from Deema Hajjawi’s Instagram account thought I’d try it since I have fresh milk.

Taste is good like a chocolate mousse in a way,recipe is easy but I used fresh milk instead of powder.

Ingredients and method :
* 4 cups milk.
* 3-4 tablespoons starch.
* 1 cup chocolate chips.
* 2 packs creme caramel powder.
* 1 pack cream.
* 1 tablespoon Nescafe.
* Digestive biscuits.

# heat milk ( only 3 cups) till warm then add chocolate till it melts.
# dissolve the remaining cup of milk with the starch.
# add the cream caramel, cream and milk with starch to the milk chocolate mixture.
# add Nescafe.
# mix all well together over low heat till it’s thick.
# pour in small silicone cups or glass cups.
# cool in fridge for several hours.
# upon serving turn it on a digestive biscuit and serve decorated with chocolate syrup or nuts.
