INGREDIENTS

  • 5 CUPS MILK, PLUS EXTRA TO SOAK THE BISCUITS  
  • 1 CUP SUGAR 
  • 2 EGGS
  • ½ CUP CORNSTARCH 
  • 1 TABLESPOON BUTTER
  • 3 PACKAGES LADYFINGERS
  • 4 TABLESPOONS COCOA POWDER   
  • 1 ½ CUPS BITTERSWEET CHOCOLATE, CHOPPED 
  • 1 CUP MILK CHOCOLATE, CHOPPED
  • ½ CUP WHIPPING CREAM

PREPARATION

To make the cream, take the milk and the sugar to the heat. Beat the eggs in a stand mixer until it doubles its volume. Dissolve cornstarch in the hot milk and add the eggs, on a steady stream, so it won’t coagulate. Take it back to a low heat until it thickens. Take off the heat and add butter. (If you want, add 4 drops of vanilla essence or 1 vanilla pod). Allow to cool. Soak biscuits in milk mixed with cocoa powder. In a baking pan, place layers of biscuits and cream; repeat. Melt both chocolates in a water bath and combine with the whipping cream, until you get a dense ganache. Cover with ganache and take it to the freezer to cool.
