Custard Marshmallow Pudding

Good morning everyone! Hope your Ramadhan is going well. =) To kick things off, I have here a quickie recipe which Ibu made for a family event during the first day of fasting. Here we go!

What you need:
One plain un-iced cake, flavour of your choice
Custard - for an easy custard, use one tablespoon of custard powder per cup of milk
Vanilla marshmallows
Half a bar of Crunchie chocolate, crumbled into small pieces

What you do:

1.  Cut the cake into small pieces, roughly 2-inches square maybe. Place in a single layer in a serving dish/bowl. We had enough to make two bowls.
2. Make the custard and pour over the cake pieces. While still hot, place some marshmallows over the top so that they melt with the heat. Sprinkle over the chocolate pieces.
3. Refrigerate for a few hours until custard is cold. Serve chilled.

Easy, no? =) You can, of course, use a home-baked cake, but its far easier to just buy from the supermarket. We used a pandan chiffon cake, and that was good, but imagine how much better it would have been if we had used a chocolate cake instead. Mmmmm~

This is quite similar to a trifle, I guess, only that instead of jelly, marshmallows are used. =) They both have the same function, to impart some flavour into the dish. So feel free to modify as you like and add your favorite toppings. To make it even richer, you could even whip some cream and spoon over the custard. Yum!

Quote of the day: You can't have your cake and eat it too.
