Where to find ingredients
You can find milk, eggs, sugar, and cornstarch at local markets or neighborhood grocery shops. For the canned peaches, sweetened condensed milk, and table cream, check the baking or canned goods aisles of larger supermarkets in Banjul or major towns. Ladyfinger biscuits can often be found in the imported goods section; as a substitute, vanilla-flavored tea biscuits can be used if ladyfingers are unavailable.
Preparation method
- Whisk the cornstarch into the milk in a heavy-bottomed pan.
- Stir in the sweetened condensed milk and the egg until fully incorporated.
- Place the pan over low heat.
- Cook the mixture while stirring constantly to prevent sticking.
- Continue cooking until the custard thickens to a smooth, porridge-like consistency.
- Arrange a layer of ladyfinger biscuits along the bottom of a glass serving dish.
- Pour the hot cream mixture over the biscuits, spreading it evenly.
- Dice the peaches from the syrup into medium-sized chunks.
- Scatter the peach pieces uniformly over the cream layer.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the sugar and table cream together until well combined.
- Spread this cream topping over the peach layer.
- Cover the dish securely with aluminum foil.
- Refrigerate for at least 6 hours before serving to allow the flavors to set.
