Directions
- 1
Make the cream: combine the condensed milk, heavy cream, whole milk, cornstarch, sugar, and butter in a saucepan over low heat. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil. Remove from heat and set aside.
- 2
Make the crumble: mix together the flour, cornstarch, sugar, and baking powder. Add the cold diced butter and beaten egg, then rub between your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse, sandy crumbs.
- 3
Preheat oven to 350 °F (180 °C). Grease and flour a rectangular baking pan (about 12 x 8 inches).
- 4
Press half of the crumble evenly onto the bottom of the pan to form a firm base layer.
- 5
Pour all of the cream filling gently over the crumble base, spreading it evenly.
- 6
Sprinkle the remaining crumble loosely over the cream layer, covering the entire surface.
- 7
Bake for 35 minutes until the top is golden. Allow to cool completely before slicing into squares.
💡 Chef's Tip
For best results, let the cake cool fully before cutting — the cream firms up as it cools, giving you clean, neat slices. A teaspoon of vanilla extract stirred into the cream makes it even more aromatic.
