Heaven on Earth: Turkish chocolate dessert recipe

Ingredients

• 4 cups cold milk
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter
• 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate
• 1 cup caster sugar
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/3 cup plain flour
• 1 cup leftover cake, or lady fingers
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips, crushed nuts or fruit pieces (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Combine the milk, sugar, flour and cocoa powder in a small pot over a low-medium heat. Stir continuously.
2. Once the mixture begins to simmer, remove the pot from the heat.
3. Add the butter and semi-sweet chocolate to the mixture. Stir thoroughly until all the ingredients are fully melted and the texture is smooth and creamy.
4. Allow the mixture to cool for approximately 10 minutes. Continue to stir the mixture every 3 minutes to avoid solidification.
5. Cover the base of the serving dishes or cups with a layer of cake (or crushed sponge finger crumb).
6. Moisten the cake layer with a splash of milk.
7. Pour the chocolate mixture over the cake layer.
8. Garnish the top of the puddings with chocolate chips, crushed nuts or fruit.
