TIP! Be careful not to over-beat the custard. Dessert can be made up to two days ahead. For an adult version, replace ½ cup milk with coffee-flavoured liqueur. 

Ingredients

1 ½ x 250g packets Milk Coffee biscuits

2/3 cup milk

CUSTARD

2 x 100g sachets AeroplaneVanilla Flavoured Dessert Mix

2 ½ cups milk

600ml tub thickened cream

CHOCOLATE ICING

300g dark chocolate, finely chopped

1 cup thickened cream

1 tablespoon honey

Method

  1. To make custard, combine all ingredients in the large bowl of an electric mixer. Using a whisk attachment, beat on low speed for 30 seconds until combined. Increase speed to high. Beat for a further 1 ½ to 2 minutes, or until thick and firm peaks form. Set aside.

  2. One at a time, dip one-third of the biscuits into milk, turning to coat. 

  3. Arrange over base of a 23cm x 32cm x 6cm deep, rectangular serving dish (14-cup capacity), trimming to fit. 

  4. Spoon half the custard over biscuits. Spread evenly. Repeat layering with remaining biscuits and custard, finishing with a biscuit layer. Refrigerate for 15 minutes. 

  5. To make icing, combine all ingredients in a large heatproof bowl. Sit bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Stir until melted and smooth. Pour over biscuits in dish. Spread evenly. Refrigerate, covered, for at least 6 hours, or overnight. 

  6. Spoon into serving bowls.
