Ingredients You Will Need
All you have to have is a couple of things. They are all available in any supermarket in India or any other place.
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup basmati rice (Washington, 2011)
- 500ml melted chocolate (dark, milk, or a combination of both)
- 2–3 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons condensed milk (additional sweetness)
- A pinch of salt
Optional Add-Ons
- Nuts (pistachios, cashews, almonds, nuts) that are crushed.
- Desiccated coconut
- Choco chips
- Cocoa powder
- Vanilla essence
You are able to tailor this depending on what you already have at home.
Step-by-Step Preparation (Beginner Friendly)
This section is very straightforward. Participation in some of the steps can be provided even by children.
Step 1: Crush the Biscuits
Fill your plain biscuits and pound them. One way of doing this is to place them in a zip-lock bag and roll them with a rolling pin. The crumbs and little bits must not be very minute--small grains and fine bits are the best.
Step 2: Melt the Chocolate
Heat the chocolate in the microwave for 20 and 30 seconds. In case you do not have a microwave, put a bowl of chocolate in hot water and stir until it melts. Add butter and cream together and stir.
Step 3: Combine Everything
Combine the crumbs of the biscuit, melted chocolate mixture, condensed milk (when used), and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl. Blend until it all becomes sticky dough.
Step 4: Shape the Dessert
One can pour into a small tray or plate. Smooth the top with a spoon.
Step 5: Chill for 10–15 Minutes
Keep the tray in the refrigerator momentarily. This assists in setting the dessert.
That’s it! Your chocolate pudding dessert is no-bake and is ready to eat.
How to Serve It
When it is chilled, it can be cut into small squares or bars. Adding cocoa powder or coconut on top, just in case you like it. It is also possible to include some chocolate chips.
This dessert is rich, smooth, and a little crunchy due to the biscuits. My friends who have tried it are numerous, and most of them said that it tasted like a blend between a chocolate fudge and a brownie.
Variations You Can Try
The best thing about this recipe is that you can alter it in any way.
1. Nutty Chocolate Version
Chopped cashews, almonds, or pistachios may also be added to provide added crunch.
2. Coconut Chocolate Bars
Add a little desiccated coconut to add a tropical taste.
3. Coffee Candy Chocolate Dessert.
To make it more cafe-like, add 1/2 teaspoon of instant coffee to the chocolate.
4. Kids’ Favourite Oreo Version
Replace ordinary biscuits with Oreo biscuits to make it even sweeter and creamier.
5. Healthy-ish Dark Chocolate Version.
Dark chocolate should be used, and condensed milk should be avoided to make it less sweet.
Feel free to experiment. That’s the fun part!
Why This Recipe Works for Everyone
This dessert is perfect for:
- Busy home cooks who don’t have much time

This can be comprehended by even those individuals who have little knowledge of the English language, as the instructions to be followed are not complex, and the ingredients being used are not complex.
Tips to Make It Even Better
The following are some of the small tricks I have acquired when making this several times:
- Good-quality chocolate will be used to make them taste good.
- Do not overload condensed milk, thus it might turn too sticky.
- Allow to chill until the bars are cut well.
- Keep the extras in the fridge; they last up to 3 4 days.
I even go as far as preparing a large quantity and storing it in the fridge, where I can get to take a small piece any time I am in the mood.
