Directions
- 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, and cornstarch. Whisk together until fully dissolved and no lumps remain.
- 2
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
- 3
Wash the strawberries thoroughly, remove the stems, and slice them into thin rounds or small pieces.
- 4
Gently fold the sliced strawberries into the cooled cream using a spatula, then use immediately to fill your cake layers.
💡 Chef's Tip
Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract while cooking for extra depth of flavor. For a firmer filling that holds its shape between layers, increase the cornstarch by half a tablespoon.
