Ingredients

• 1 can (14 oz) Condensed milk
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 3 large Egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Sugar (for whipping cream)
• 14 ounces Biscoito Maria (Maria biscuits)
• 1 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder (optional, for dusting)
• 1 cup Milk (for dipping biscuits)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the condensed milk, 2 cups of whole milk, cornstarch, and egg yolks until fully combined.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook while stirring constantly. Continue until the mixture thickens into a creamy custard, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 3

Once thickened, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Set the custard aside to cool to room temperature.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with 2 tablespoons of sugar until stiff peaks form. Fold about half of the whipped cream into the cooled custard to make it lighter and creamier, saving the rest for topping.

Step 5

In a shallow dish, pour 1 cup of milk for dipping the Maria biscuits. Briefly dip each biscuit into the milk, ensuring they are moistened but not soggy.

Step 6

In a rectangular or square dish (about 8x8 inches), spread a thin layer of the custard mixture on the bottom. Arrange a layer of moistened Maria biscuits on top of the custard.

Step 7

Continue layering, alternating custard and dipped biscuits, until all the custard has been used, finishing with a layer of custard on top.

Step 8

Spread the remaining whipped cream evenly over the top layer of custard. For added flair, dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder if desired.

Step 9

Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.

Step 10

Serve chilled, slicing into squares to reveal the beautiful layered structure. Enjoy!
