Başak Bitter Çikolatalı Puding is a ready-to-cook pudding powder in a 105 g sachet, the dark chocolate variety in Başak's pudding range. The front of the pack says it serves 3 to 4 people, which makes it a handy choice for a small family or a quick weeknight dessert.
Puddings of this kind are a staple of Turkish homes. The usual method is to stir the powder into cold milk, bring it to the boil over a medium heat while stirring, then pour it into bowls, moulds or glasses and leave it to set in the fridge; follow the exact quantities and timings printed on the pack. Serve it chilled with crushed biscuits, banana slices or hazelnuts on top, spread it between sponge layers for a simple pudding cake, or use it as a quick filling for profiteroles.
Store the unopened sachet in a cool, dry place and keep prepared pudding in the refrigerator. Because the pudding is cooked with milk, the finished dessert contains milk. The full ingredient list and allergen statement are printed on the pack, so please read them before serving anyone with a food allergy.
