Ingredients
- 3 cups (700 ml) whole milk
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 4 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 packets digestive or graham crackers (or any plain biscuits)
- 1/4 cup butter (optional, for extra richness)
- Crushed biscuits or graham crackers (for topping)
Instructions
Step 1 – Prepare the Creamy Custard Base
In a medium saucepan, whisk together milk, sweetened condensed milk, and cornstarch until smooth and lump-free.
Place the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly for 5–7 minutes, or until it thickens into a smooth, pudding-like custard.
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
(Optional) Add butter and stir until melted for a richer flavor.
Step 2 – Layer the Biscuits
Crush half of the biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin.
Spread a thin, even layer of crumbs at the bottom of a glass or deep dish.
Step 3 – Add the First Custard Layer
Pour half of the custard over the biscuit layer. Smooth it out with a spatula to create an even layer.
Step 4 – Add Another Biscuit Layer
Crush more biscuits and sprinkle them evenly over the custard.
Step 5 – Add Remaining Custard
Pour the rest of the custard on top, spreading it evenly.
Step 6 – Finish with Crushed Biscuits
Top the dessert with a final layer of crushed biscuits or graham crumbs for texture and a beautiful finish.
Step 7 – Chill and Serve
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight) until completely set.
Serve cold — slice neatly for elegant presentation or scoop casually for a homestyle look.
Optional Add-Ins & Variations
- Chocolate version: Add 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder to the custard mix.
- Coffee flavor: Mix 1 teaspoon of instant coffee with the milk before cooking.
- Fruit twist: Layer sliced bananas, strawberries, or pineapple between the custard and biscuits.
- Crunchy topping: Add toasted nuts or crushed caramel on top for extra bite.
Storage Tips
- Keep refrigerated for up to 4 days.
- Store covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container.
