Method
 

  1. Toast the bread. Chop the bread into small chunks.
  2. Meanwhile, add custard powder in a small amount of cold milk.

  4. Add the custard mixture and mix well.
  5. Cook for few minutes until it becomes thick.
  6. Turn off the heat and keep the custard sauce aside for cooling.

  8. Now, add the chocolate sauce and sprinkle the sliced almonds.
  9. Layer the bread pieces one more time.
  10. Pour the remaining custard sauce.
  11. Add the chocolate sauce and level it in the refrigerator for 8 hours.
  12. Steam the bread in a steamer for 20 minutes.
  13. Once the pudding is cool enough, decorate with sliced almonds.
  14. Serve chilled for better taste.

Notes

  • Toasting makes the bread dry. It absorbs the custard better.
  • You can use cooking chocolate or normal milk chocolate instead of chocolate sauce.
  • If you like the almonds without skin, soak in hot water for 5 minutes. When it is cooled down squeeze the nuts to remove the skin.
  • I am using a stovetop steamer. When you steam the pudding in the steamer, cover the lid with a cloth to prevent the water droplets from dripping into the pudding.
