Directions
- 1
Combine the sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, and cornstarch in a medium saucepan. Whisk until completely smooth and lump-free.
- 2
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens into a smooth custard, about 8–10 minutes.
- 3
Remove from heat and stir in 7 oz (200 g) of white chocolate, broken into pieces, until fully melted and incorporated.
- 4
Let cool to room temperature, then gently fold in the heavy cream for a lighter, airier texture. Set aside.
- 5
Quickly dip the ladyfingers in cold milk and arrange them in a single layer in a 9×13-inch (22×35 cm) rectangular dish.
- 6
Spread half the white chocolate cream evenly over the cookies, then arrange a second layer of dipped ladyfingers on top.
- 7
Top with the remaining cream, then grate the remaining 7 oz (200 g) of white chocolate over the entire surface.
- 8
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight for best results. Serve well chilled.
💡 Chef's Tip
Top with fresh raspberries or sliced strawberries just before serving — the tartness cuts through the sweetness beautifully. This dessert keeps well covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
