directions

  • Combine chocolate, rum, 1/4 cup water, and the vanilla in a heat-proof bowl. Set it over a pan of simmering water just until the chocolate melts. Cool completely to room temperature. Whisk butter until combined. Set aside.
  • Place egg whites, the salt, and 1 tablespoon of the sugar in a bowl. Beat on high speed until firm but not dry.
  • Place the egg yolks and the rest of the sugar in a bowl. Beat on high speed until pale yellow. With the mixer on low speed, add the chocolate mixture.
  • Whisk 1/4 of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture; then fold the rest in carefully with a rubber spatula.
  • Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture.
  • Soak the biscuits in milk slightly. Layer a bottom of a square pan with them. Next layer with chocolate mixture (about 1/2 inch high). Sprinkle with cashew nuts. Follow with another layer of soaked biscuits and then the chocolate mixture and cashew nuts. Continue layering until all of the chocolate mixture is over. Make sure that the top layer is chocolate mixture and cashew nuts.
  • Chill for at least 2 hours.

  1. This is delicious af! So good that it made me ate a whole bowl within one day!
     
  2. I have been searching for a biscuit pudding recipe like the kind I used to eat while living in Sri Lanka....and this is it! It's rich, yes, but I love the creamy texture of the pudding with the layers of cookies throughout. I shared the dessert with a group of friends tonight, and everyone gave it a big thumbs up!!
     
  3. This was not at all what I expected. It was super rich and sweet--too much so. I wasn't very keen on the raw egg idea so I did cook it for a bit. It was a lot of work for very little gain. I would not make it again.

I love trying different kinds of food, playing with flavours. I inherited it from my dad. We used to spend every Sunday, cooking something new. It was like a special day for us to spend time together. Apart from cooking, I also love travelling. My favourite places are Jamaica, and Morocco. Nothing like sitting by the side of the road somewhere, eating Jerk Chicken or a Moroccan Sandwich!
