Marie Biscuit Pudding

Marie Buscuit Pudding 

In our childhood in Sri Lanka, Marie biscuits were our ultimate favourite. Every ’90s kid knows the true feeling—and taste—of a perfectly soaked Marie biscuit.

After moving to Japan, I was surprised to discover that I could still find that same childhood taste. The biscuits here come in simple, plain varieties, but the flavour remains the same. Most of the time, my husband brings home a packet of Marie biscuits, and the two of us sit together, soaking them and enjoying them while watching TV. It has become our own little comfort ritual.

This year, my husband’s birthday fell on a weekday. He told me not to go to any trouble preparing a special dinner because he knew how busy and tiring it can be when you have a playful little one who demands attention 24/7. I agreed…

But deep down, I still wanted to surprise him with something he truly loves.

Then I spotted the leftover Marie biscuits—I quickly came up with an excellent idea. He absolutely loves biscuit pudding. “Well, I guess I’m going to deal with this,” I whispered to myself. I gently tucked my little one into the baby carrier and began my mission.

What You Need

I have to confess—when it comes to cooking, I hardly ever follow exact recipe measurements. Most of the time I just feel the quantities (haha, sounds funny, but that’s honestly how I work!). But for baking and desserts, measurements matter a lot more than they do when we make our everyday curries.
So this time, I carefully noted everything down as I prepared it, just to give you the correct guidance.

Here we go!

A classic layered dessert with silky chocolate custard and soft, tea-soaked Marie biscuits—perfect for quick celebrations, busy weekdays, or nostalgic cravings.
