Where to find ingredients
You can find most ingredients in the baking or tinned goods aisles of major supermarkets. Sponge fingers (ladyfingers) are typically found in the biscuit aisle. Table cream can be replaced with double cream if necessary, though it will be richer. Condensed milk is widely available in the international or baking section.
Preparation method
- Whisk the cornflour into a small amount of the milk until smooth.
- Pour the remaining milk, the condensed milk, and the egg into a heavy-bottomed saucepan.
- Add the cornflour mixture and whisk to combine.
- Cook over a gentle heat.
- Stir continuously until the custard thickens to a consistency similar to porridge.
- Arrange a layer of sponge fingers to line the base of a glass serving dish.
- Pour the hot cream over the biscuits.
- Dice the peaches into medium-sized cubes.
- Scatter the peach pieces evenly over the cream layer.
- Prepare the topping by whisking the sugar into the table cream in a separate bowl.
- Spread the cream topping over the peaches.
- Cover the dish with foil or cling film.
- Chill in the fridge for at least 6 hours before serving.
