Where to find ingredients
You can find most of these ingredients in any standard supermarket. 'Sweetened condensed milk' and 'heavy cream' (often labeled as table cream or media crema in the international aisle) are staples. Ladyfinger biscuits are typically found in the cookie or baking aisle. For an authentic touch, check the 'International' or 'Latin' section of your local grocery store for Brazilian brands of condensed milk, though generic versions work perfectly well for this recipe.
Preparation method
- Whisk the cornstarch with the milk, condensed milk, and egg in a saucepan until smooth
- Place the pan over low heat
- Stir constantly until the mixture thickens to a custard-like consistency
- Line the bottom of a rectangular glass dish with a single layer of ladyfinger biscuits
- Pour the warm custard evenly over the biscuit layer
- Dice the fresh strawberries into medium-sized pieces
- Spread the chopped strawberries over the custard layer
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream together with the sugar until smooth
- Spread the whipped cream mixture over the layer of strawberries
