Creamy Condensed Milk Dessert with Homemade Strawberry Jam

Directions

1. 1

   In a cold saucepan off the heat, whisk together the milk, condensed milk, heavy cream, milk powder, and cornstarch until fully combined and smooth.

2. 2

   Cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a spatula. Once the mixture comes to a boil, continue stirring for 2 more minutes, then remove from heat.

3. 3

   Pour the cream into a large serving dish, smooth the surface with a spatula, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until firmly set.

4. 4

   Hull and rinse the strawberries, then place them in a saucepan with the sugar and lemon juice. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally.

5. 5

   Mash the strawberries with a fork as they cook if you prefer a smoother jam. Simmer until thickened, remove from heat and let cool completely in the refrigerator.

6. 6

   Remove the plastic wrap from the chilled cream, pour the cooled strawberry jam over the top and spread evenly with a spatula.

7. 7

   Garnish with sliced fresh strawberries if desired and keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
