How to Make Creamy 5-Ingredient Dessert

With a creamy texture and sweet flavor, this dessert wins everyone over. It’s easy to make with simple ingredients. See below the list of all ingredients and required quantities. And then, a very complete preparation method with details of the recipe.

Recipe Ingredients:

1 container of table cream or heavy cream (7 oz / 200g)
1 can of sweetened condensed milk (14 oz / 395g)
Graham crackers or tea biscuits (Bolacha Maizena)
Juice of 3 fresh limes (or store-bought lime juice)
Milk for soaking the biscuits
Chocolate for grating (optional)

Instructions:

Cream Layer Preparation:
First, in a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream with the sweetened condensed milk. Then, gradually stir in the lemon juice until the mixture becomes thick and creamy.

Dessert Assembly:
Next, use a 900 ml (about 3.8 cups) glass dish. After that, spread a layer of the cream mixture on the bottom. Then, lightly dip the lady finger cookies (or Maria cookies) in milk and arrange them over the cream layer. Continue alternating layers of cream and cookies until the dish is full.

Finishing Touch:
Finally, if you like, grate some chocolate over the top of the dessert. Lastly, place it in the refrigerator and chill for about 1 hour before serving.

Tips:
You can use powdered drink mix instead of freshly squeezed lemon juice. A blender is not needed for this recipe, as the cream thickens quickly due to the lemon juice. The cookies stay slightly crispy even after being chilled. This dessert is perfect served cold on hot days. You can also make individual servings in small cups or jars.
