Directions
- 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, and cocoa powder. Whisk until fully blended and smooth.
- 2
In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in the cold milk, stirring until no lumps remain, then pour this mixture into the saucepan.
- 3
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a whisk, until the cream comes to a boil and thickens, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- 4
Remove from heat and let cool at room temperature, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin from forming on the surface.
- 5
Once fully cooled, use the cream to fill cake layers or spread it generously over the top and sides as a frosting.
💡 Chef's Tip
Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the cream while it cools to keep it perfectly smooth. Stir in a teaspoon of vanilla extract for an extra layer of flavour.
