How to Make

Step 1: Prepare the Cream

In a saucepan, combine the milk, flour, cornstarch, sugar, and egg. Whisk thoroughly until smooth.

Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook while continuously stirring. Continue until the mixture thickens into a smooth cream without lumps.

Remove from heat and cover the surface directly with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming.

Refrigerate for at least 1 hour until completely cooled.

Step 2: Whip the Cream Filling

Transfer the chilled cream mixture to a mixing bowl.

Add the whipped cream powder and vanilla.

Using an electric mixer or stand mixer, beat until the mixture becomes smooth, fluffy, and creamy.

For extra texture and flavor, fold in hazelnut crumbs if desired.

Step 3: Assemble the Dessert

Arrange the cat tongue biscuits in a serving dish or tray. If preferred, roughly break the biscuits into smaller pieces.

Spread a generous layer of cream over the biscuits.

Add chocolate chips, fruit pieces, or both according to your preference.

Continue layering until all ingredients are used.

Smooth the top evenly.

Step 4: Make the Chocolate Ganache

Pour the liquid cream into a saucepan and heat until it just begins to boil.

Remove from the heat immediately.

Add the chopped chocolate and stir until fully melted and glossy.

Allow the ganache to cool slightly.

Step 5: Finish the Dessert

Pour the ganache evenly over the assembled dessert.

Use a spatula to spread it smoothly across the surface.

Decorate as desired with chocolate shavings, nuts, fruit, or sprinkles.

Step 6: Chill Overnight

This step is essential.

Place the dessert in the refrigerator and chill for at least one full night. The biscuits will soften, the flavors will meld together, and the texture will become perfectly creamy.

Serve chilled.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use different biscuits?

Yes. Ladyfingers, tea biscuits, digestive biscuits, or graham crackers work well as alternatives.

Can I add fruit?

Absolutely. Strawberries, bananas, peaches, and berries pair beautifully with the creamy filling.

Can I make this dessert ahead of time?

Yes. In fact, making it one day ahead improves the texture and flavor.

What chocolate is best for the ganache?

Both milk chocolate and dark chocolate work well. Dark chocolate creates a richer and less sweet topping.

Why should I chill it overnight?

Overnight chilling allows the biscuits to soften and absorb moisture from the cream, creating a cake-like texture.

Can I add nuts?

Yes. Hazelnuts, walnuts, pistachios, or almonds add wonderful crunch and flavor.
