This is my favourite pudding in the book. I first tried it at the Magnolia Bakery in New York City (made famous by Sex and the City), and loved it so much I now make it at home. I hide the biscuit packet, though! The show’s not really my thing (no cars or guns), but the cakes are great. The idea is that New York ladies are short on time, so they make this with a few ingredients, then put it in the ice box (in other words, the fridge) for a while to soften the biscuits into a cake texture – hence the name. I sometimes like to use soft fruit in the cream, but a coffee cream also works well with ginger biscuits.
