Where to find ingredients
You can find these staples at local supermarkets in the baking aisle for canned goods and cornstarch, and the dairy aisle for milk and table cream. Ladyfinger biscuits are commonly stocked in the cookie or international foods section. If ladyfingers are unavailable, vanilla sponge cake fingers or delicate tea biscuits serve as a suitable substitute.
Preparation method
- In a saucepan, combine the cornstarch with a splash of milk to dissolve it into a smooth paste.
- Add the rest of the milk, the sweetened condensed milk, and the egg to the saucepan.
- Place over low heat, ensuring the heat is gentle to avoid curdling the egg.
- Stir constantly with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula to prevent sticking at the bottom.
- Continue stirring until the mixture thickens significantly, reaching the consistency of a dense custard or porridge.
- Arrange a layer of ladyfinger biscuits at the bottom of a rectangular glass serving dish.
- Pour the warm custard evenly over the biscuit layer.
- Drain the peaches and chop them into medium-sized cubes.
- Distribute the cubed peaches over the custard layer.
- In a separate bowl, whip the sugar and the table cream together until smooth.
- Spread this cream topping over the layer of peaches.
- Cover the dish with foil to prevent the surface from drying out.
- Refrigerate for at least 6 hours to allow the biscuits to soften and the flavors to meld before serving.
