Ingredients
  

For the Cake
  • 1 pack maisena cookies
  • 1 can condensed milk
  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 tablespoons corn starch
  • 200 g semi-dark chocolate
  • 1 box cream milk

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a saucepan, combine the condensed milk, milk, and the still-cold cornstarch, stirring carefully until completely dissolved.
  2. Place this mixture over medium heat, stirring continuously, as it transforms into a silky, smooth cream.
  3. Melt the semi-dark chocolate, and gently fold half of it into the hot cream, stirring until homogeneous.
  4. In a refractor, alternate layers of maisena cookies and the rich chocolate cream.
  5. Mix the remaining melted chocolate with the custard to make a ganache, and spread it over the dessert.
  6. Allow to cool in the refrigerator for about 4 hours until firm.
Serving
  1. Garnish with chocolate shavings or cocoa powder, and serve cold.
