2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 package ladyfinger biscuits (biscoito tipo champanhe)
1 can peaches in syrup
1 can heavy cream (creme de leite)
3 tablespoons sugar

Where to find ingredients
You can find most of these ingredients in the dairy, baking, and canned goods aisles of any local supermarket. For the 'biscoito tipo champanhe' (ladyfingers), look in the cookie or specialty baking aisle. If unavailable, delicate sponge biscuits are a common substitute. Canned peaches in syrup are staples found in the fruit preserve section. If you have a local Latin American or Brazilian grocery shop nearby, they will stock the exact 'creme de leite' and condensed milk types typically used for this dessert, though standard heavy cream and condensed milk found in any mainstream grocery store work perfectly.
Preparation method
- Whisk the cornstarch
- the milk
- the condensed milk, and the egg together in a heavy-bottomed saucepan
- Cook over low heat
- Stir continuously until the mixture thickens into a smooth, consistent custard
- Line the bottom of a glass serving dish with a layer of ladyfinger biscuits
- Pour the hot cream over the biscuits
- Dice the peaches into medium-sized cubes
- Spread the peach pieces evenly over the cream layer
- Whip the sugar with the heavy cream in a separate bowl until combined
- Spread this final topping over the peach layer
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil
