Where to find ingredients
You can find table cream (creme de leite) and ladyfinger biscuits in the baking or international foods aisle of major local supermarkets. Sweetened condensed milk and white chocolate are staples in any dairy or confectionery section. If you cannot find ladyfingers, digestive biscuits serve as a suitable substitute.
Preparation method
- Dissolve the cornstarch into two tins of milk, stirring thoroughly until smooth.
- Place a saucepan over medium heat with the sweetened condensed milk and the milk-cornstarch mixture; stir constantly until it thickens into a consistent cream.
- Remove from the heat and stir in half of the grated white chocolate until fully melted and combined.
- Allow the cream to cool down completely.
- Gently fold the table cream into the cooled white chocolate mixture until smooth and uniform.
- Briefly dip the ladyfinger biscuits into the remaining tin of milk.
- Arrange a layer of the soaked biscuits along the bottom of a large glass baking dish.
- Spread half of the prepared cream evenly over the layer of biscuits.
- Repeat the layering process once more with the remaining biscuits and the rest of the cream.
- Finish the dessert by sprinkling the reserved grated white chocolate over the top.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving to ensure the dessert sets properly and achieves the perfect texture.
