Ingredients

  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ⅓ cup cornstarch
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 2 cups milk (for custard)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup whipped topping or whipped cream
  • ¼ cup milk (for dipping)
  • 175 grams digestive biscuits (approximately 22–24 biscuits)
  • ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
  • ¼ cup milk (for chocolate topping)

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, whisk together the sugar and cornstarch.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the milk, then gradually pour into the saucepan while whisking.
  3. Cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and starts to boil (6–8 minutes).
  4. Remove from heat and whisk in the butter and vanilla extract. Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap touching the surface, and let cool completely.
  5. Once cooled, fold in the whipped topping and set aside.
  6. Pour the ¼ cup milk for dipping into a shallow bowl. Dip each biscuit briefly (1 second per side).
  7. Layer dipped biscuits in a 9×9 inch square dish. Spread half the custard over the biscuits. Repeat with another layer of biscuits and the remaining custard, finishing with a final biscuit layer on top.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours to set.
  9. Melt the chocolate with ¼ cup milk using a double boiler or microwave. Stir until smooth.
  10. Pour and spread chocolate over the chilled cake. Refrigerate for another 20–30 minutes until set.
  11. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

  • Add sliced strawberries or bananas between layers for a fruity twist.
  • Use dark chocolate for a richer topping.
  • Add coffee or cocoa to milk for dipping for deeper flavor.
  • Can be frozen for up to 2 months and enjoyed frozen or thawed.
