Step by Step Method
-
Take a small bowl and add custard powder. Pour half cup of cold milk into it. Mix well until smooth. Make sure there are no lumps. Keep this aside.
-
Take a deep pan and pour the remaining milk into it. Place it on medium heat. Stir gently and let the milk warm up. Do not let it boil fully yet.

Keep stirring the custard until it becomes thick and smooth. This may take five to seven minutes. Turn off the heat and add vanilla essence. Mix well.
-
Let the custard cool slightly. Stir once in a while to avoid skin forming on top.
-
Take the biscuits and break them into small pieces using your hands. You can also crush them lightly for a softer texture.
