400 g white chocolate, roughly grated
3 tins milk (use the empty condensed milk tin to measure)
1/2 cup cornflour
2 packs ladyfinger biscuits (biscoito tipo champanhe)

400 g white chocolate, roughly grated
3 tins milk (use the empty condensed milk tin to measure)
1/2 cup cornflour
2 packs ladyfinger biscuits (biscoito tipo champanhe)
Where to find ingredients
Condensed milk and all-purpose cream are staples in any Ghanaian supermarket or neighbourhood provision store. Ladyfinger biscuits (often labeled as sponge fingers) are commonly found in the baking or biscuit aisle of major supermarkets in Accra or Kumasi. White chocolate blocks can be sourced from confectionery sections or specialty baking supply shops; if unavailable, any high-quality white chocolate bar will work. Cornflour is readily available in the cereal or flour section of any local grocer.
Preparation method
- Dissolve the cornflour in two tins of milk, whisking thoroughly until smooth
- Place the condensed milk and the milk-cornflour mixture in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens into a consistent cream
- Remove from the heat and stir in half of the grated white chocolate until it melts and is fully incorporated
- Allow the cream to cool completely to room temperature
- Gently fold the all-purpose cream into the cooled white chocolate base until smooth
- Lightly dip the ladyfinger biscuits into the remaining tin of milk
- Line the bottom of a large glass baking dish or serving platter with a layer of the soaked biscuits
- Spread half of the creamy mixture over the base of biscuits
- Repeat the process by adding another layer of soaked biscuits followed by the remaining cream
- Finish by sprinkling the rest of the grated white chocolate over the top
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving to allow it to firm up and reach the perfect texture
