Raisins, vanilla and butter are then added to the mixture after which it is baked till the pudding is moderately firm.  Finally, a layer of cream is added on top. 

Variations of Biscuit Pudding Recipes

There are many variations of biscuit pudding. Dried fruits, nuts and dark chocolate are added to impart additional flavors. Sometimes jam is added as a thin layer instead of cream to offer a sweet syrupy touch to the biscuit pudding. Use of orange or strawberry essence as a topping is not uncommon. Some other variations include using coffee instead of milk and mixing cocoa powder instead of raisins. Rum mixed with cream is also used as topping sometimes.  This is one dish where there is plenty of scope for experimentation.
