Preparation method
- Dissolve the cornstarch in two cans of milk, stirring well until smooth.
- In a saucepan, combine the condensed milk and the milk with cornstarch, stirring constantly over heat until the mixture thickens into a consistent cream.
- Remove from heat and fold in half of the grated white chocolate, stirring until it is completely melted and incorporated.
- Allow the cream to cool down completely.
- Gently fold the table cream into the cooled white chocolate mixture until the texture is homogeneous.
- Lightly soak the biscuits in the remaining milk.
- Line the bottom of a large glass baking dish with a layer of soaked biscuits.
- Spread half of the prepared cream over the biscuits.
- Repeat the layers, starting with a layer of soaked biscuits followed by the rest of the cream.
- Finish by sprinkling the remaining grated white chocolate over the top.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving to ensure the dessert sets and achieves the best texture.
