Where to find ingredients

Preparation method
- Dissolve the cornstarch in two cans of milk, stirring well until smooth.
- Place a pot over heat with the sweetened condensed milk and the milk with cornstarch, stirring constantly until it thickens into a consistent cream.
- Remove from heat and add half of the grated white chocolate, stirring until it has completely melted and incorporated into the cream.
- Allow the cream to cool completely.
- Fold the heavy cream into the cooled white chocolate mixture, stirring gently until uniform.
- Briefly dip the biscuits in the remaining milk.
- Line the bottom of a large glass dish with a layer of the soaked biscuits.
- Spread half of the cream over the biscuits.
- Repeat the layers with the remaining soaked biscuits and 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 it sets and achieves the best texture.
