Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (14 oz) Condensed milk
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 3 large Egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Sugar (for whipping cream)
- 14 ounces Biscoito Maria (Maria biscuits)
- 1 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder (optional, for dusting)
- 1 cup Milk (for dipping biscuits)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the condensed milk, 2 cups of whole milk, cornstarch, and egg yolks until fully combined.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook while stirring constantly. Continue until the mixture thickens into a creamy custard, about 8-10 minutes.
Once thickened, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Set the custard aside to cool to room temperature.
In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with 2 tablespoons of sugar until stiff peaks form. Fold about half of the whipped cream into the cooled custard to make it lighter and creamier, saving the rest for topping.
In a shallow dish, pour 1 cup of milk for dipping the Maria biscuits. Briefly dip each biscuit into the milk, ensuring they are moistened but not soggy.
In a rectangular or square dish (about 8x8 inches), spread a thin layer of the custard mixture on the bottom. Arrange a layer of moistened Maria biscuits on top of the custard.
Continue layering, alternating custard and dipped biscuits, until all the custard has been used, finishing with a layer of custard on top.
Spread the remaining whipped cream evenly over the top layer of custard. For added flair, dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder if desired.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
Serve chilled, slicing into squares to reveal the beautiful layered structure. Enjoy!
