Chocolate Cheese Crackers Pudding

Chocolate Cheese Crackers  pudding was an instant hit that I whipped up quickly, but the taste was awesome. I had some whipped cream and cheese crackers ready at hand after frosting a cake. So I just mashed up the duo to get a dessert for kids, but we all loved the flavour of cheese mixed crackers with whipped cream along with chocolate chips, and it's not the kids who had, but we enjoyed too. The best part of this pudding is that there is hardly any cooking involved. How sweet, right? 😉 The only time to cook is to heat the whipping cream. The first layer is more of a biscuit layer in pudding but has a cheese and chocolaty flavour. The second layer is whipping cream mixed with cheese crackers and chocolate chips. Finally, the third layer is a simple dark chocolate ganache. 

There can be many variations to this recipe, as you can make a chocolate mousse instead of a whipped cream layer. You can add grated chocolate on top of the whipped cream layer to garnish instead of dark chocolate ganache. Do give this a try if you have some whipped cream to finish or if you love the cheese chocolate combo.

Preparation time ~ 10 minutes

Cooking time ~ 2 minutes

Author ~ Julie

Serves ~ 3-4 

Ingredients

first base layer

cheese crackers 1 pkt or 10 no.s

milk compound 70 g

heavy whipping cream 1 tbsp

second layer

whipped cream 1 cup

crackers 1/4 cup crushed

dark chocolate chips 2 tbsp

third layer

dark compound 100g

heavy whipping cream 2 tbsp

Method

• Take the crackers, reserve one(for garnish) and crush the rest of the crackers in a mixer and measure the amount of crushed crackers. Add 1/2 cup crushed for the first layer, and reserve 1/4 cup for the second layer.
• Heat the whipping cream(3-4 tbsp) and add one tbsp to a bowl with milk compound and  remaining 2-3 tbsp to a bowl with dark compound for last layer. Leave undisturbed for a minute or two and mix well to a smooth ganache. (I have heated both whipped cream together and divided, you can dividely heat took).

• Add 1/2 cup crushed cheese crackers in a bowl, add the milk chocolate ganache, give a mix and spread as a layer. Refrigerate for half an hour to set.
• Then, mix the 1/4 cup crushed crackers with whipped cream, add the chocolate chips. Transfer this to a piping bag and add as a second layer. Refrigerate for half an hour.
• Finally, take the already prepared dark ganache(if it solidifies, double boil and melt) and spread thin over the second layer, cut the reserved cracker diagonally and garnish on top. Refrigerate for 20 minutes to set and can be served.

NOTES

* I have used Gery brand cheese crackers. You can use any brand cheese crackers.

* You can add chopped nuts to the second layer too.

* I had some whipped cream reserved after making a cake and so used that. You can always whip fresh cream to make this pudding too. Use 1/3-1/2 cup cream to get 1 cup whipped cream.

* You can even use half of the cheese cracker filling for the first layer and then layer as a third layer and whipped cream as a fourth layer, alternating to finish.

* You can make a chocolate mousse instead of a whipped cream layer. 

* You can add grated chocolate on top of the whipped cream layer to garnish instead of dark chocolate ganache.
