Put the milk powder, icing sugar, cocoa powder and butter in a large bowl. Add half of the warm water and whisk together until you have a thick paste.
Slowly add the rest of the water, keep whisking.
Divide the mixture between the two pastry cases and chill for at least four hours.

Chef's Tips
If you want to make this recipe quickly add only half of the water, it will then be thick enough to eat almost immediately.
Grind the skimmed milk powder or pass through a sieve to make it finer and it will make a smoother dessert.
Hi, 5 pints is a brand of skimmed milk powder. You can buy this at any supermarket, their own brand is ok. It is called 5 pints because that is the amount it makes. Hope that helps.
This looks great! Just wondered what '5 pints' is?
