Where to find ingredients
You can find these items at major supermarkets like SM Supermarket, Landmark, or Robinson's. Ladyfinger biscuits (often labeled as 'biscoito champanhe') are available in the baking aisle or specialty imported goods section. If table cream is hard to find, all-purpose cream is an excellent local substitute.
Preparation method
- Whisk the cornstarch into a little of the milk until dissolved.
- Pour the remaining milk into a saucepan.
- Add the condensed milk, the egg, and the cornstarch mixture to the pan.
- Cook over low heat.
- Stir constantly until the mixture thickens into a consistency similar to porridge.
- Line the bottom of a glass baking dish with a single layer of ladyfinger biscuits.
- Pour the warm custard over the layer of biscuits.
- Dice the canned peaches into medium-sized cubes.
- Distribute the cubed peaches evenly over the custard layer.
- Prepare the topping by whisking the sugar and table cream together in a separate bowl until combined.
- Spread this cream mixture over the layer of peaches.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours before serving.
