In a small bowl, mix the instant coffee powder with hot water and set it aside to cool slightly.
In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and cornstarch. Whisk well to dissolve any lumps.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook while stirring continuously until the mixture thickens into a smooth pudding consistency. This should take about 8-10 minutes.
Once the mixture has thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat. Add the dark chocolate, butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until the chocolate and butter have melted completely and the pudding is smooth. Let it cool slightly.
Dip a biscuit briefly into the coffee mixture to coat it. Do not let it soak for too long, as it will become soggy.
Layer the soaked biscuits in the bottom of a square or rectangular dish (approximately 8x8 inches). Cover this biscuit layer with a portion of the chocolate pudding.
Repeat the process, alternating layers of coffee-soaked biscuits and chocolate pudding, until all the biscuits and pudding are used up, finishing with a layer of pudding on top.
Spread the top evenly with a spatula and smooth it out. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to set completely.
Once set, garnish the pudding with whipped cream and chocolate shavings, if desired.
Slice into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy your decadent chocolate biscuit pudding!
