Biscuit cream is one of the simplest desserts: smooth vanilla milk pudding layered with soft biscuits. It needs no oven, uses everyday ingredients and is ready after a short chill. The recipe card below lists the ingredients and steps; here are the tips for a lump-free, creamy result.

Why it is so popular

It takes about 15 minutes of work and then rests in the refrigerator.
The biscuits soften into a cake-like layer as they absorb the cream.
It suits many occasions, from a family dessert to a party.

Tips for a smooth cream

Whisk the cornstarch into a little cold milk first, then add the rest; this prevents lumps.
Cook on low heat and stir constantly until the cream thickens like a pudding, about 5 to 8 minutes.
Add the vanilla off the heat, and the cocoa if you want a chocolate version.
Cover the surface with plastic wrap while it cools so no skin forms.
Layer cream and biscuits, finishing with cream, and chill for at least 2 to 3 hours.

Variations

Dip the biscuits very briefly in milk or coffee for a tiramisu-like flavor.
Top with grated chocolate, crushed nuts, banana slices or berries.
Use a thin layer of caramel or fruit jam between the layers.

Storage

Keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The biscuits get softer over time.

Who should be careful?

This dessert contains milk, gluten from the biscuits and sugar. People with diabetes should keep the portion small, and people with milk allergy or celiac disease should use suitable substitutes.
