2 tbsps Sugar
1 tbsp Vanilla Custard Powder

1 cup cream

Method:  Make thick custard with milk, sugar and custard powder. Add coffee to this.  Let it cool a little.Crumble the biscuits coarsely.  Do not powder.

In a serving dish put a layer of the coffee custard. Over it gently place the coarsely crumbled biscuits. Pour the remaining custard over the biscuit layer. Now sprinkle part of the walnuts.
